Elias Howe invents the first practical sewing machine in a dream

Ask most people who invented the first working sewing machine and they might take a guess and say Isaac Singer, but they would be wrong. Because that person was Elias Howe. And Elias Howe invented the first practical working sewing machine using the solution shown him in a dream. Elias Howe’s invention is still used in the sewing machine’s design. Before the sewing machine, women made all clothes by hand and each garment was by its very nature unique. The sewing machine liberated women from this work, bringing in the mass production of clothes. It revolutionised the clothing industry, the fashion industry and the way clothes are sold. Without Elias Howe there would be no Nike, no Gap, no Banana Republic, no Calvin Klein, but there again, there would be no sweat shops either. So we owe all this to one dream.
