Modern Sewing Machine Development

You don't need to be an expert on fashion to know that sewing machines are an advancement that has changed the modern world. While sewing together fabric using a needle and thread has been a way to create clothes for many hundreds of years, it wasn't until the industrial revolution that large-scale sewing machines were developed to handle the increased clothing needs of growing societies.

Promotional Clothing Made With Sewing Machines

These days, when it comes to National Sewing Machine Day, as much as we might enjoy our machines at home there's still a lot to be said for the bulk producing machines that create most of the promotional clothing we see in shops. Sewing machines help create products such as;

  • T-Shirts
  • Polo Shirts
  • Caps
  • Jackets
  • Hoodies
  • Beanies
  • Scarves
  • Vests
  • Pants
  • Shorts
  • Skirts
  • and more!

Without sewing machines, producing such large quantities of unique clothing for retail sale or corporate uniforms would be impossible. Hand sewing, before the industrial revolution, could take up to 10 hours to perform to create a single shirt. In the present, thousands of shirts can be made each day thanks to these awesome devices!
