Sewing Machine as Musical Instrument

Craft & Design

Lara Grant’s sewing machine is wired up to sense every time the needle is lowered through the conductive fabric swatch it sews, triggering a sound. I’m assuming it’s hooked up to a computer program that’s playing the sound, since it’s capable of playing back melody loops. [via Fashioning Technology]
