Life as a seamstress in the colonial days could become very difficult. They worked all day long and had very little time for other hobbies or their families. They mainly made dresses and repaired clothing for the people in their town. They were also severely under paid and were treated as servants by the wealthier class. Only few could become rich and those were the ones who made the most outstanding dresses and would get paid well the richer people. Their tools mostly included scissors, needles, and fabrics. Their main fabrics were cotton because silk was very expensive and very rare. One of the most famous seamstress's was Betsy Ross who created the American flag.
