LilyPad Arduino
At US$50 for this setup it is not something you would want to incorporate in every embroidery you undertake, however I do see potential for this system, especially in terms of costuming projects. It incorporates a conductive thread with a battery pack and a programmable circuit board. Using a computer you can write a custom program for the circuit which can turn on LEDs and potentially do other simple electronic transitions.
The link below incorporates a small video showing how to put together a basic circuit to turn a LED on and off. Imagine this sewn into a steam punk outfit, or what about LED accents that sense a physical change in light and turn themselves on as you move into a dimly lit room. What about a stump work butterfly that actually flaps its wings triggered by a nearby noise? The possibilities are quite numerous.
