Jessica Dance creates a woolly sewing machine sculpture for John Lewis

Jessica​ ​Dance​ ​– the famous crafter who brought us food made entirely of wool – was​ ​recently commissioned​ ​by​ John​ ​Lewis​ ​to​ ​design and​ ​create​ ​a​ ​knitted​ ​installation​ ​to​ ​inspire​ ​customers​ ​and​ ​encourage​ ​them​ ​to think​ ​differently​ ​about​ ​wool.​ ​

One​ ​of​ ​her​ ​most​ ​detailed​ ​knitted​ ​sculptures​ ​to​ ​date, Jessica​ ​recreated​ ​with​ ​impressive​ ​accuracy​ ​the​ ​department​ ​store’s​ ​most​ ​popular sewing​ ​machine.​ ​Maintaining​ ​the​ ​clean​ ​and​ ​graphical​ ​style​ ​of​ ​the​ ​actual​ ​sewing machine​ ​with​ ​great​ ​skill​ ​and​ ​detail,​ ​the​ ​final​ ​piece​ ​is​ ​almost​ ​a​ ​doppelganger​ ​of​ ​the​ ​real-life​ ​version​ ​with​ ​accompanying​ ​accessories.
