Where did sewing originate?

Embroidery can be dated back to 30,000 BC. (in an archaeological find, fossilized remains of heavily hand-stitched and decorated clothing were found). Chinese thread embroidery dates back to 3500 B.C.

The earliest machine embroidery was a combination of machine looms and hand embroidery (done by teams of women) in France in the mid-1800s.
