Judy couldn’t use earphones that fit her ear size and with 6 months of Canadian winter, she had a need to combine her snow hat with headphones explaining: “you can’t really walk around in headphones in winter, and you can’t wear it on top of your tuque. Some people use earphones but I don’t find them comfortable”. She sketched her design with a colour palette inspired from her winter suit. We used a matching wool yarn to add some embellishment (in the form of: couched seams, 2 dangling braids, and a pompom on top) for the aesthetic desirability of the hat. Finally, we added an invisible zipper with a matching colour to allow easy access to the sewn circuit. When Judy wore it during her outdoor walks, she used it to listen to her favourite sound track and navigate Google-Maps. She was happy and excited to be able to clearly hear the directions, while staying warm and without headphones, just by plugging the audio jack in her hat’s braided chin tie: “I love how it’s easy to use and easy to access the electronics inside”. Mary elaborated: “This is way better than headphones, because you can walk with it without anyone noticing that you’re listening to anything. . . It’s more comfortable because it’s soft and fabric so it is much better because it warms my ears, covers my head and a speaker. . . [but] nobody else can hear, then I can have something [private] playing and no one else would say oh what’s that?”
