Industrial Revolution

Apparel & Textile Production Objective 1.01A

The Industrial Revolution, which took place from the 18th to 19th centuries, was a period of transition to new manufacturing processes.

This transition included going from hand production to machines production methods, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, improved efficiency of water power, the increasing use of steam power, and the development of machine tools.

During this period, rural societies in Europe and America became industrial and urban.

Background Information

The textile industry was transformed by industrialization. Before mechanization and factories, textiles were made mainly in people’s homes.

In the 1700’s, a series of innovations led to ever-increasing productivity, while requiring less human energy.

The Industrial Revolution & The Textile Industry

The spinning jenny is a multi-spindle spinning frame.

It was invented in 1764 by James Hargreaves

Spinning Mule The spinning jenny was

improved upon by spinning mule.

Samuel Crompton invented the spinning mule in 1779.

The spinning mule is a machine used to spin cotton and other fibers in the mills.

The spinning mule spins textile fibers into yarn by an intermittent process.

The Cotton Gin was a machine that automated the separation of cottonseed from the short-staple cotton fiber.

Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin (1794) and a pioneer in the mass production of cotton.

Prior to his invention, farming cotton required hundreds of man-hours to separate the cottonseed from the raw cotton fibers.

Elias Howe was an American inventor and sewing machine pioneer.

Howe did not invent the sewing machine, but he originated significant refinements to the design concepts of his predecessors.

The Sewing Machine

These refinements included: needle with the eye at the point automatic feed shuttle beneath the cloth to form the

lock stitch.

Dreaming of Sewing Macines In 1846 he was awarded the first

United States patent for a sewing machine using a lockstitch design.
