Switch Craft Project: Shiny Clutch

I started on my first Switch Craft project: Shiny Clutch! I spent several weeks gathering all the material, selecting fabric, LED (light Emitting Diodes), magnetic switch, Timtex (for purse handles). My knowledge of sewing is growing:o) The magnetic switch was the most difficult item to find. Luckily, Marc Electronics will be my go-to place for my onesie-twosie supplies. The guys there were extemely helpful. The inspiration for my clutch is the midnight sky...

This is only the 2nd sewing project I have undertaken in my life...I am just as interested in you are in seeing how it turns out!

So far, I have cut the patterns and have sewn the battery pocket to the lining......

High Tech Shoes for Safety in an Adult Industry

These shoes were developed and created for the safety of women in an adult industry ( I don't know of a more delicate way to state it). The shoes are high tech and fashion forward which is why I mention them here.

This shoe comes equipped with a GPS, an alarm system to scare off attackers, a button with a silent alarm that gives away the location of the shoes to the emergency services, and an LCD screen.
