"Robotics have been on the horizon for many years so we knew it was coming. The seamstress that's been sewing for umpteen years can still work only in a limited arena. People will still need seamstress for personal items, adjusting prom dresses, adjusting bridal gowns, etc. They have to get creative and put their skills to work, maybe open their own shop for alterations. No, that won't cover all that become unemployed, but it will help some and some is better than none. Brides, prom, etc will continue forever. The only field that "Robots" can't take over is going out on the trades job site and building houses, buildings, wiring electrical, installing plumbing, etc. AND THE TRADES PAY DARN GOOD!!! I know I'm retired. Progress hurts but it happens and the only way to survive is to get creative, They need to advertise their skills and I bet someone will call them because everyone (especially small businesses) can't afford using, renting or leasing a "Sewbot". I know a small business looking for a seamstress (or two) that can mass produce at least 100 items (easy sewing) per day. (they need them like yesterday)!!! If you know someone that can provide this service AND IS REASONABLE with their prices please send me a message on facebook - Prudence Epson, thanks!!!   "
