Even though I'm a guy, I've picked up sewing and sewing machines as a hobby recently. It's relaxing. I love using the machine to stitch some fabrics together with some thread to make my own fashion pieces.
Wow! How long does it take to sew a piece? That's neat because sewing has been around for a long time!
Oh, it depends on the pieces, so it varies. But you're right! That's what drew me to it, was the history of it. Sewing is one of the oldest textile arts--I mean, we're talking the Paleolithic Era.
I see! That is so impressive! And I bet it has evolved somewhat over time! Do you make sewing pieces as gifts as well?
I haven't quite gotten to that point yet.. still working my way up to just being able to handle what I like for me. But yeah.. I'm grateful that it evolved with the sewing machine back with the first Industrial Revolution. Much less manual work involved with it now.
Right! Do you think it will become even more automated in the future? I feel like less and less people know how to sew these days.
I think it will always remain as a hobby on a small scale. Just like the physical paperback book. But yeah, there have been the creation of industrial sewing machines, ones for outside-of-the-home use, which are larger/faster/more variation in size/cost/appearance, and can be used for more tasks.
Interesting insight! Yeah websites like Etsy and Pinterest are great for promoting the hobby.
invention of the sewing machine in the 19th century and the rise of computerization in the 20th century led to mass production and export of sewn objects, but hand sewing is still practiced around the world. Fine hand sewing is a characteristic of high-quality tailoring, haute couture fashion, and custom dressmaking, and is pursued by both textile artists and hobbyists as a means of creative expression.
The first known use of the word "sewing" was in the 14th century.

Sewing machine
A sewing machine is a machine used to sew fabric and other materials together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Since the invention of the first working sewing machine, generally considered to have been the work of Englishman Thomas Saint in 1790, the sewing machine has greatly improved the efficiency and productivity of the clothing industry.
Home sewing machines are designed for one person to sew individual items while using a single stitch type
