Portrait Sewing: For the ‘Artsy’ Trimmer

March 11, 2013 By Nadeem

The Hog Ring - Auto Upholstery Community - Sewing Machine Art

So you think you’re talented behind a sewing machine? Get a load of this guy…

YouTube channel Platon Iurievici has published a video of an unnamed man free-handing a portrait of a live model using only a piece of fabric and a sewing machine – and he does it in under six minutes.

The result is something similar to a pencil sketch, but nonetheless impressive.
