    I think sewing machines would count? They certainly got a hell lot more “portable”, but the basic design hasn’t changed much since the 1880s. Those things are little mechanical marvels

      Well, for “normal” ones they changed a lot about the lower thread. Also there came overlock machines to make life easier for certain stitches.

      But nonetheless, they are marvelous machines, I love them so much. It is mechanic porn, and granted, the design of the old ones was perfect. Don’t need all that plastic 😅
