History of using Sewing needles have been found at least 50,000 years ago in Denisova cave in Siberia. And likely to have been made by H. Denisova/ H. Altai about 10,000 years before the arrival of Neanderthal and Human groups in the cave. The oldest possible example is 60,000 years ago, a needlepoint where stem and eye were missing found in Sibudu Cave in South Africa.

The earliest dyed flax fibers have been found in a prehistoric cave in Georgia and it is dated back to 36,000 years.
Venus Figurine of ‘Venus of Lespugue’ was found in southern France about 25,000 years ago. Some other Western European figurines were adorned with basket hats or caps, belt were worn at the waist, and a strap of cloth wrapped around the body right above the breast. Eastern European figurines wore best, hung low on the hips and sometimes string skirts. However, according to archeologists, James M Adovasio, Soffer and Hyland, the garments are more likely ritual wear, real and imagined, which served as a signifier of distinct social category.
The artifacts were found by archaeologists who say textile arts, spindle needles and weaving sticks were in use in 5,000 BC.
