  1. Clothes-Making

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people made nearly all their clothes with their hands.
    My grand Aunts Julia and Alice Sinnott made clothes with their trade in a swing school in Callan. They had a little room for the purpose.
    They made all the clothes for all the servants in Desart and Farmley also the Floods.
    Sometimes Julia went to Desart to help to make clothes for Lord and Lady Desart. They also made habits for people as in those days the people had the habits in the houses before they died. They always had plenty of sewing to do.
