發明家艾利司‧哈維 (Elias Howe) 生於1819年7月9日

在1800年代早期，大多數人都很貧窮，自然也沒有很多服飾店可以讓他們為家人或自己購買衣服。在那個時候，所有東西都是自己用手工作的。每個家庭都自己一針一線縫製褲子、襯衫，與洋裝。但是艾利司‧哈維改變了這個生活習慣。哈維出生於1819年7月9日，他用另外一種方式來縫製衣服。他在1846年為美國第一架縫紉機申請了專利。也許你本來以為這個發明家的名字應該叫做「辛格」 (Singer) 吧？


In the early 1800s, most people didn't have the money, not to mention a choice of stores in which to buy clothes for themselves and their families. At that time, everything was made by hand. Families sewed their pants, shirts, and dresses using a needle and thread. But Elias Howe changed all that. Born on July 9, 1819, Howe came up with another way to make clothes. He patented the first practical American sewing machine in 1846. Maybe you thought the inventor was someone named Singer?
