我解释了缝纫和编织的区别：缝纫是将已制作好的布料或织物连接起来，而编织是使用纱线制作布料本身。我还解释了，过去，大多数在美国工厂靠缝纫衣服赚钱的人都是女性，她们被称为女裁缝。现在，我们可以称任何缝纫的人为缝纫工或缝纫者。
Deep Dive
This chapter explores the key differences between sewing and knitting, including the materials used, the techniques involved, and the types of items that can be created using each method. It also discusses the historical and contemporary terms used to describe people who sew.
- Sewing connects pre-made fabric pieces, while knitting creates fabric from yarn.
- Sewing can be done by hand or machine, while knitting typically uses yarn and knitting needles.
- Historically, women in factories were called seamstresses; today, sewist or 'person who sews' are common terms.
- Tailors sew or repair clothes to ensure a proper fit.
