    The tailor uses a lot of implements such as:- needles, thread, chalk, tape, a big scissors, a big iron for pressing the clothes, and a large table on which he sits while he is working. The tailor stocks cloth, and he gets a lot of clothes to make. On that account his son helps him with the work.
    There are a couple of spinning wheels in this district. Some of the people long ago used to spin the wool themselves, and then they would bring the thread to a weaver.
