Elias Howe
"As I speak in court today
over one million men in the field,
in our great
struggle, our Civil War,
are clothed, kitted and
covered by fabric
sewn on machines using my inventions."
Elias Howe 1863
Spending a lifetime in the sewing trade it would become a passion of mine to find out about the inventor that made my profession possible. For over 30 years I have keenly collected every anecdote and piece of information that I could uncover to bring you one of the most complete works to date on Elias Howe, inventive genius, and sewing machine pioneer.
From the clothes you are wearing to the sofa you watch TV on, they are all made on the humble sewing machine which properly started with Elias Howe and his patents. Now you can read about the amazing man who changed our world.

WOW! Your information on Elias Howe and his sewing machine is
fabulous! A few years ago I purchased an 双ld? sewing machine
at a flea market. It looks very much like your 践owe Model A
1865?. I fell in love with it instantly! Since
that time I致e been trying to find any information I can..
Thank you for all the great work.

Dear Alex
I would just like to say thank you for providing me with the information
on my great great great grandfather Elias Howe. Knowing all the things
he did just makes me happy and I wish I could have met him back then. He
truly was a great man and I believe he still is even today. So again I
say thank you.

Hello Alex,
My grandmother's name was Beaulah Hazel Howe Luke. I heard all
my life that a relative of ours invented the sewing machine.
Thanks for the great work.

Most of us know the name Singer but few are aware of his amazing life story, his rags to riches journey from a little runaway to one of the richest men of his age. The story of Isaac Merritt Singer will blow your mind, his wives and lovers his castles and palaces all built on the back of one of the greatest inventions of the 19th century. For the first time the most complete story of a forgotten giant is brought to you by Alex Askaroff
