Detailed explanation-1: -But it was the invention of the Spinning Jenny by James Hargreaves that is credited with moving the textile industry from homes to factories. The move from a domestic cottage based industry to factories allowed the expansion of the Industrial Revolution from England throughout much of the world.

Detailed explanation-2: -Before the Industrial Revolution, textiles were produced under the putting-out system, in which merchant clothiers had their work done in the homes of artisans or farming families. Production was limited by reliance on the spinning wheel and the hand loom; increases in output required more hand workers at each stage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Industrialization had a revolutionizing impact on fashion. Machines could produce knitted and woven cloth that was a finer gauge than most people could make with home methods. With the industrial revolution came new technologies like the sewing machine that made clothing manufacturing faster, easier, and cheaper.

Detailed explanation-4: -As coal and water began driving the efficiency of the production of goods, so did the demand rise. Textile factories, or mills, began to improve the manufacturing of fabrics. Machines allowed factories to produce textiles on a much larger scale by directly weaving thread and turning it into fabric.

Detailed explanation-5: -Neanderthals, subspecies of archaic humans and the distinct genus Homo, are an extinct species who lived in the countries of Eurasia from circa 400, 000 until 40, 000 years ago and were the first humans to wear clothes. The idea of sewing clothes originated from these Neanderthals, as they used to sew animal skin.
