  1. Tailors

    Share Share Post
    There are four tailors in this parish.
    They work at home.
    Te tailors around here have no cloth for sale in their own houses.
    The people around here wear cloth bought in shops.
    My people never heard of any saying or proverbs about tailors.
    The implements used by a tailor are the thimble, needle, iron, sewing machine, lap board, scissors, and a tape.
    Shirts were made of linen and woven in this district long ago.
    Shirts are now bought in shops.
    Stocking are made in this district.
    The thread is bought in the shops.
    There are about six spinning wheels in this district.
    People have not suits for special occasions such as funerals and weddings.
