Author here, happy to answer any questions!
I wonder if white thread would've been more invisible, the black thread seems more obvious against the LEDs? Being nitpicky, its a cool project for a single night.
Have you thought about ways to make the lights detachable so you can wash the garment? Or is the trade off at a point where redoing it is easier overall?
Just want to say- this is a really neat idea and project!
p.s. thanks for the additional sourcing details
