Sewing

Here's something we don't read or hear about very much,if at all, the invention of sewing ,a needle and thread I feel is one of the top inventions that helped take us into a more advanced lifeway allowed us to make clothing to shield us from the cold and the wind and rain. Whether  its a simple awl and sinew or  silver threads and golden needles or a machine that stitches our clothes it comes down to gee you look good or its a good thing I have this coat to keep me warm all because we learned along the way to sew instead of just wrapping up in a deerskin. I don't know when it was we began to sew but it seems it was pretty universal . 

Sewing became a  real creative activity maybe even more important than weaving , I don't know that for sure but it seems to me sewing was giant step in the ancient time. And maybe weaving and sewing evolved hand in hand , no pun 

My research might be off but as best i can find is that sewing needles and thimbles date back to 202 BC the Han Dynasty and that news spread fast . And then we have buttons and button holes but they don't to seem to show up until the 13th century ancient  Persians were the first it is believed .

At any rate sewing was  a real giant step in the ancient world " hey Alice i need a black tux for the Dino dance next week "

  1. Great article Dude. The sewing machine made live's better and the manufacturer were smart in making it available to everyone. That said a custom suit which has no rival is because it is hand stitched. Used sewing machines are easily had and everyone male or female should know how use one. Even more they should be able to sew by hand. Gear and special clothing is expensive, why buy when you can make and certainly no one should go without just because you can't bother to learn.
