Fail Gator

Last night, I was really excited because I finished the embroidery for my programmed Gator. So, I decided to go freestyle with sewing the electronics.
Fail. Didn't work at all.

On the down side, I wasted about an hour sewing, and now I have to rip out all the electronic sewing. 

On the plus side, by making the mistakes, I learned a lot about how the conductive wire, LilyTiny, LEDs, and sewable battery holder work. As soon as I finished, I realized that I should have put all the wiring on the pink piece of felt, where they'd be hidden by the green piece of felt and would fit a little better.
