Because we are creating a wearable, there is not much space to store a whole breadboard on a wearable. Due to this issue, we needed to convert the breadboard into a soft textile circuit. This process involved some sketches by hand to turn a schematic into one that will have to be stitched on the fabric.

| Draft Textile Circuit Diagram |
The sketch aided us in mapping out the circuit layout on the shirt. However, when putting the sketch on the shirt, changes needed to be made because of the space constraints of the shirt.

| Final Sewn Circuit |
To transfer the sketch circuit onto the fabric, we first laid a piece of tracing paper on top of the fabric. Then, we drew out the circuit layout. After, we transferred this drawing by putting the drawing and fabric on top of a light table (which we used a window with sun shining through), and we traced the drawing with chalk onto the fabric. Lastly, we used conductive thread to sew the whole circuit.
