Even though I'm a guy, I've picked up sewing and sewing machines as a hobby recently. It's relaxing. I love using the machine to stitch some fabrics together with some thread to make my own fashion pieces.
Wow! How long does it take to sew a piece? That's neat because sewing has been around for a long time!
Oh, it depends on the pieces, so it varies. But you're right! That's what drew me to it, was the history of it. Sewing is one of the oldest textile arts--I mean, we're talking the Paleolithic Era.
