Sewing is one of the oldest textile arts in the world and is used within a variety of industries, most notably fashion and footwear. Before the industrial revolution, sewing was still very much a skilled industry with many people working out of their own homes, offering their services as seamstresses and tailors. With the invention of the sewing machine by Thomas Saint in 1790, sewing was soon to become an even bigger and more lucrative business and reduced the burden on housewives, moving the sewing and maintaining of clothes from within the home to factories.

As any keen seamstress will know, sewing is not only a necessity but is also a wonderful and fulfilling hobby and is an art which has had a bigger impact in history than we ever give it credit for. During WW1 women, many of whom were married to military men, formed sewing circles which not only helped to occupy the minds and time of wives whose husbands were away at war, but soon became an important tool in the war effort, sewing flags and uniforms for the troops and to raise money for the war effort. It is often felt that sewing is an art which has declined in popularity over the years, no longer being taught in schools, but within the industry we know that sewing is as an important a skill as any and with technology continuing to move at a rapid pace it is now easier than ever to recreate the professional sewing techniques used by the fashion industry, within your own home.
