    There were wavers long ago that used to make flannels and Frieze coats. These tailours used to go around from house to house making those suits. He used to make a suit for 1s.qd with the needle. There was no sowing machine that time. The people that time grew flax and made linen out of it. The old women used to wear lace caps with boders. They used to wear plaid shawls and black aprons at weddings and black skirts and elastick shoes at Christnings
