I really like sewing. It really just takes a needle and thread to make stitches and a good eye!
Is it hard to learn to sew?
I don't think so. In fact people have been doing this textile art since the Paleolithic era. Wow!
How long ago was the paleolithic era?  Is that stone age time?
That's a little after the Stone Age. They think before spinning yarn or weaving fabric, people in the Stone Age used fur and skin clothing using bone as needles.
Interesting!  What specific supplies are needed to take up the hobby of sewing?
Really just a needle and thread. But of course after the Industrial Revolution a lot of sewing is done with machines and computerization which led to mass production.
That's true.  I am sure machines a way more efficient than people.  Don't a lot of third world countries do most of the sewing now days?
I think they've increased productivity by lowering the amount of labor and using machines.
That makes sense.  Are the sewing machines expensive?
