Grandma’s Sewing Gets Online; $8.7 Billion Industry Leverages the Power of Software and The Internet
Grandma’s Sewing Gets Online; $ 8.7 Billion Industry Leverages the Power of Software and The Internet
Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 10, 2005
Some old fashioned industries are leveraging the internet and technology in ways that just weren’t possible only a few years ago. Sewing has always been a bigger market than you would think. However, the latest technology makes this $ 8.7 Billion dollar market seem like it has been given a whole new life.
“It’s quite amazing to think where all this is heading,” Said Tom Michaelson of Tomssewingguide.com.
Most people think of sewing as something their grandmother did to fix their buttons on their shirts. More think that sewing patterns are for the small hobbyists. These days, sewing is a whole lot different. The collaborative spirit of the internet has made all hobbies easier to enjoy. Banks of free sewing patterns exist all over the internet. Yahoo groups, and private email lists have helped sewers connect with each other all over the world. The revolution is here.
Even Singer (the company that makes Singer sewing machines) has a website. If a company as old and respected as Singer has made an investment in the online world, the web is definitely here to stay. Furthermore, many of the big retailers have at least experimented with custom made clothing. High speed data lines allow measurements to be taken at the local mall with the custom sewing and tailoring done thousands of miles away.
“I think this might be just the beginning. The world’ of opportunity that technology opens up to everyone is mind boggling” said Michaelson.
About Tom’s Sewing Guide:
With their corporate office in Houston, Texas, CEO Tom Michaelson and his research staff prepare detailed articles and information about sewing and what’s happening in the hobby. Tom’s provides sewing related content for people all over the world.
In a recent interview, Tom said he has many new enhancements in store for people who enjoy sewing as a hobby.

What You Should Look Foe When Shopping for a Online Ring Designer
Why Custom Jewelry Design?
Whether itâs for wedding, engagement, anniversary or some other occasion, custom jewelry design means one-of-a-kind. When you purchase custom handcrafted jewelry, you know that the gift you are giving is truly unique, unlike any other similar piece. The best news is that custom made jewelry need not be any more expensive than mass-produced items! Read on and lear more about custom jewelry design.
Itâs an Ancient Tradition
In fact, for centuries custom made jewelry was the only kind available. Custom designed jewelry made from animal claws and teeth, shells certain kinds of stones and even wood was the earliest form of adornment; paleontologists have found examples of custom made jewelry dating well back into the Stone Age, 100,000 years ago. Of course in those days and throughout most of early history, the significance of custom designed jewelry was a sign of rank, rulership, or accomplishment (as of a brave or notable deed) more often than not; only the very wealthy and/or important wore such custom handcrafted jewelry.
The Use of Precious Stones and Jewels
Humans had long known of and treasured precious and semi-precious stones and gems as well as metals for use in custom jewelry design, such as:
- Sapphire
- Ruby
- Emerald
- Adamant (diamond)
- Turquoise
- Quartz
- Bronze
- Gold
- Silver
However, custom handcrafted jewelry had to wait until mankind had learned how to work metal before its manufacture was possible.
Custom Jewelry Design Today
Custom menâs jewelry is an example of how jewelry can be used to indicate rank or â more often, these days â accomplishment. Most often, such custom designed jewelry for men takes the form of :
- rings
- cufflinks
- shirt studs
- tie pins
Other custom menâs jewelry pieces such as earrings are less common, at least for formal gifts or recognition of rank or accomplishment in Western culture. Earrings for men may be completely appropriate as less formal gifts or among certain ethnic groups; in general however, earrings are a type of custom menâs jewelry that a man is most likely to purchase for himself.
Your online ring designer Can Help
Thanks to the Internet, itâs possible to shop for the custom jewelry design throughout the world without ever having to leave the comforts of home!
If you are seeking a special gift for a man in your life, consider the services of an online ring designer. Such an expert in custom jewelry design can make suggestions and create that one-of-a-kind gift for any occasion.
