  1. Clothes Making

    “Long ago there were several tailors in the country.”

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there were several tailors in the country. They had no fixed residence only according as they got work to do. They made all sorts of clothes such as suits for men and other flannel garments called "Báneens" much like a coat. There was a tailor named John Coleman in Tysaxon long ago and he went from house to house and crossed his legs as he sat on the table and hummed a tune while he sewed his garments.
