Best Answer

Prior to the sewing machine, every piece of clothing was made by hand, which took hours. The sewing machine mechanized the process and decreased the time needed to make clothing. This allowed companies to start doing the work previously done by the housewife/mother/aunt/other female of the house, which then allowed the women in the household to focus on other tasks. This led to an overall increase in the productivity of the average household and was part of the start of the Industrial Revolution.
