The first sewing machine was invented by Thomas Saint in London during the 1790's

Issac Singer and Elias Howe were both involved in the invention of the sewing machine.
Prior to the invention of the sewing machine, all sewing - making and mending - would have been done by hand using hand sewing needles.
Isaac Merritt Singer invented the first practical and commercially successful sewing machine in the 19th century. His invention revolutionized the textile industry by making it faster and more efficient to produce clothing and other fabric goods. Singer's sewing machine design also helped to popularize the use of sewing machines in households for domestic sewing and mending.
The sewing machine!
Greenough did not commercially manufacture his invention and his patent model remains as the only evidence. So his machine is simply called the "Sewing Machine Patent Model."
The first working sewing machine was invented in 1830 by Barthelemy Thimonnier. However, the invention did not become popular and widely used until the 1850s when Isaac Singer produced the first commercial machine.
Elias Howe sued Isaac Singer for patent infringement over the invention of the sewing machine. Howe had patented a sewing machine design in 1846 that featured a lockstitch mechanism and an eye-pointed needle, while Singer's machine used a similar concept. Howe claimed that Singer's machine infringed on his patent, leading to a significant legal dispute in the 1850s. Ultimately, the case underscored the complexities of patent law in the rapidly evolving industrial era.
Prior to the invention of the sewing machine, sewing was done by hand with needle and thread. This method was very time consuming and consequently people only owned a few pieces of clothing, not the closets-full that we do nowadays.
