Textile Messages focuses on the emerging field of electronic textiles, or e-textiles - computers that can be soft, colourful, approachable, and beautiful. 
E-textiles are articles of clothing, home furnishings, or architectures that include embedded computational and electronic elements.
This book introduces a collection of tools that enable novices - including educators, hobbyists, and youth designers - to create and learn with e-textiles. It then examines how these tools are reshaping technology education - and DIY practices - across the K-16 spectrum, presenting examples of the ways educators, researchers, designers, and young people are employing them to build new technology, new curricula, and new creative communities.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

e-textiles
Electronic textiles are fabrics or clothing that include electrical parts such as conductive thread, sensors, LEDs, or small controllers. This matters because parts for e-textiles need to survive bending, sewing, and sometimes washing.
