Sewing is a very popular craft that is almost universally used. Its origin dates as far back as the Paleolithic age (30,000 BC), and is usually used to make clothing or home furnishings today. There are several different methods and stitches involved with sewing that all serve a unique purpose depending on what is being made. In recent centuries, the advent of the sewing machine has made the process much easier and faster and has allowed garment makers to make a superior product in almost half the time. Today most of the sewing that is done by hand is for repairing damaged garments or finishing those started by machines.
