  1. The Tailors

    Share Share Post
    There was only one tailor in every town long ago. They used to go from house to house making clothes and they had no machines only needles. The cloth the tailors had long ago was woven.
    The clothes the people wore was woven. They made the material out of flan. The tools the tailor uses are a thimble and a needle. They used to make shirts and sheets of linen. Long ago the people used to knit their own stockings, because they had no money to buy them. Nearly every house had a spinning wheels long ago.
