(image 6)This is a picture of one of the oldest lockstich sewing machine models.It is American and was created by Elias Howe if you look at the pressor foot his name is engraved in the center. This is an industrial machine and saved people lots of money and time. Although many working class people couldn't afford it.("biography 3")
Elias, I think that the sewing machine was one of the greatest inventions. I Influenced a change in costumes, and the sewing machine really helped. With out the sewing machine making costumes would take a longer time than to create the ballet. It is nice to meet the person who made them.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting machine! It looks like the sewing machine took lots of articulate work in order for it to correctly operate, but the effort is well worth it.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 machines that look very similar to this in my home. It was the first sewing machine I learned to work on!
