With maurin donneaud and vincent roudaut, we explored some ways to make stretchable conductive fabrics by coating threads with different kinds of conductive polymers, a topic that was hot also on instructables some months ago ( http://www.instructables.com/id/Conductive-Fabric-Make-Flexible-Circuits-Using-An/ ). Interesting but not as good as industrially made products (electric properties of our items were somehow chaotic...).
