Sewing is used primarily to produce clothing and household
furnishings as curtains, bedclothes, upholstery, and table
linens. It is also used for sails, bellows, skin boats, banners and other
items shaped out of flexible materials such as canvas and leather.
Most sewing in the industrial world is done by machines. Pieces of a
garment are often first tacked together. The machine has a complex set of
gears and arms which pierces thread through the layers of the cloth and
semi-securely interlocks the thread.
Some people sew clothes for themselves and their families. More often home
sewers sew to repair clothes, such as mending a torn seam or replacing a
loose button. A person who sews for a living is known as a seamstress or
seamster (from seamsmistress or seamsmaster), dressmaker, tailor, or
garment worker. |
