Sewing machine bike

I like to sew outdoors. I’ve seen several artist with these bicycle powered sewing machines. I think I want to work on building one in the future. This came about because I wanted to compete in “Plein Air” at Riverfest. I think I’ve figured out how to participate this year but hope to have this for future events.

So you aren’t going to try to build one for this year? Looks like an easy build since it’s really just a system of pulleys and a way to mount the sewing machine

I’m starting an Artist in Residence May 3 at Botanica, in a Fashion Show at Harvester Arts May 21st, and have quite a few projects that I need to complete for clients. I want to do it right, not in a rush.
