Chinese woman is able to sew with her feet - PHOTO

Liu Jianming is a woman, who can still work even if she doesn't have  arms.
The armless woman is able to create works of art using only her feet. In fact, not many people without arms can do such thing.

Liu Jianming was born without arms, and since her teenage years, she learned to sew using her feet.

The old seamstress could never afford to rent or buy a shop, to work in, so she spends her days working on a street corner, in the Chinese city of Kunming, Yunnan province. What other seamstresses struggle to do with their hands, she accomplishes with only her feet, and while there are those who doubt her abilities, they become believers, once they see her at work.

But as she’s getting older, her job becomes more and more difficult. Her feet are just as nimble as they’ve always been, but her eyesight isn’t what it used to be. Still, Liu Jianming continues to sew, as it’s her only way of supporting herself.

Really a great inspiration this story is, for us, who have complete bodies. Just proves that if you are creative, there are really no limits.
