Look at the sewing machine - today it's a widely accepted tool that enables crafting, quilting, clothing making, adhd dopamine hits, and thousands of dollars of credit card debt, but when it first came out it was rife with issues, debates, and a lot of lawsuits. Victorian "billionaires" came from the invention of the sewing machine while many suffered - losing jobs, hand skill, and being pushed into unsafe working environments. The history of the sewing machine is also funny...like bad ai with 4 hands in an image funny...cause who doesn't love petty drama tech bros dragging eachother to filth in the newspapers?

(with a Louisville Slugger cause I will always represent my hometown) @CurioByBSpokeDesigns is my favorite channel for Singer Sewing Machine restorations and I followed his guidelines as best as I could while fixing up my machine. PS. My machine is a Singer 27 from 1898 w/ the Sphinx decals and I got it at a thrift store in Ohio. *No functional sewing machines were harmed in the making of this video. #fashionhistory #sewingmachine 🥳Socials Website: https://www.abbycoxcreates.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamabbycox Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abbycox Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamabbycox Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiXol9ugjOxHHrpkdD0fZZg/join 📚My books: The American Duchess Guide to 18th-Century Dressmaking: https://amzn.to/2GrkAIQ The American Duchess Guide to 18th-Century Beauty: https://amzn.to/2TTwJtq 💌Business Inquiries *ONLY* [email protected] (This email goes directly to my management and not to me.) 📪 Abby Cox 642 N.
