The United States (US) Embassy in Brunei Darussalam organised a get-together with the winners of a social media contest recently.
The contest was focussed on Singer Sewing Machine – one of the first American products in Brunei. The contestants shared fond memories of sewing with their families, creations including bantal busuk, Raya and wedding clothes, and entrepreneurial journeys.
Public Affairs Officer of the US Embassy in Brunei Darussalam Daniel Lee gave a briefing on Singer Sewing Machine during the get-together. He said the sewing machine was invented back in 1850 by actor and businessman Isaac Merit Singer.
