My STEM-inspired sewing endeavors started in 2019 after a desire to have a space-themed dress for outreach activities. After two dresses, a blog post, and getting to share my sewing and artistic passions in late 2020 via the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich launch media events, I wanted my next STEM-themed sewing project to take things to the next level — it was going to twinkle! I’ve always enjoyed seeing garments that light up, and I decided it was time to have one of my own.
