Question
Sewing has existed, because humans have always needed to clothe themselves, for at least 25,000 years. Of course, sewing materials and the techniques used to work with these materials have changed much over time.
The earliest needles, made from natural materials like antler or bone, were used to work thread into leather fabric made from plant fibers and sinews. Over time, once metals were discovered, needles shifted to being constructed of man-made materials.
Fabrics also became finer and lighter over time, with linen made from flax standing out as an early example alongside silk. With better fabrics and tools at their disposal, more ornate clothing was created. For the first time, clothing became not only protection against the elements but also a fashion statement.
However, it was not until the Middle Ages that skilled tailors made clothing to fit one individual's body. During this period, the craft of sewing and tailoring became more specialized, leading to the rise of guilds.
Prior to the middle of the 19th century, most sewing was completed by hand. Then, after the patenting of the sewing machine in 1846 sometimes in factory settings, more and more clothing became mass-produced.
