Vintage Sewing Machines.
I guess vintage is just my second nature. I love anything that is old with character and history, such as a teaspoon, furniture, cars, buildings; the list is endless.
Talking about sewing machines, it is obvious that before civilisation, makind sew or rather, put together pieces of fabric to make a garment by hand up until the industrial revolution in the 1800's. With this movement, machines were invented in order to help decrease the manual work load in factories as the demand for clothes increased.
It is known that during the rise of industrial revolution, dress became more complex due to the invention of sewing machines, and production of pattern books that encouraged the booming business for sewing machines.
Elias Howe is regarded to be the one who successfully managed to build the sewing machine after many other earlier attempts.
