The first sewing machine emerged
The first sewing machine emerged in 1790, and later, Josef Madersperger
began developing his first sewing machine in 1807, presenting his first
working machine in 1814. The introduction of the sewing machine sped up
garment production. Meanwhile, advanced spinning, weaving and cotton-printing techniques
developed in the 18th century had already brought detailed, washable
fabrics. These durable and affordable fabrics became popular among the
majority population. These techniques were further developed by the
introduction of machines. Before, accessories like embroidery and lace
were manufactured on a small and limited scale by skilled craftsmen and
sold in their own shops; in 1804, a machine for embroidering was
constructed by John Duncan, and people started producing these essential
accessories in factories and dispatching the products to shops
throughout the country. These technical developments in clothing
production allowed a greater variety of styles; rapid changes in fashion
also became possible
