I made this prototype jacket for Valkyrie using your brilliant @adafruit components.

Adafruit customer and e-textile specialist Annie Lywood of Bonnie Binary posted up on her twitter and blog about this gorgeous jacket she made using some Adafruit parts. Check out more info here!
This jacket was designed for Valkerie, a teenage character with superpowers and a badass attitude, who likes to appear at night. It has been a great project to work on and involved the collaboration of a team of skilled artisans. The lights on the back are simply controlled by an App on an iPhone, and we designed a special textile touchslider to control the performance of the lights on the arm of the jacket.
