there are still people making cloth by hand, though. They're able to do it because there are others willing to pay a premium for handmade goods or simply because they have their needs met and are thus free to do it without worrying about profit.
The same logic extends to basically anything, the only thing holding us back from having people do work is that we as a society have decided that it's ok for a few people to exploit everyone else and keep resources out of our hands.
We more than have the technology to live in what for all intents and purposes is a post-scarcity world.
