    There are no tailors now in the district. There was a few here long ago. The yworked in there own homes. They did not go from house to house when required. The people brought their own cloth. Nowadays the people does not wear cloth of such spun. The gear or implements that the tailor uses is a sewing machine, a thimble and a needle and thread. In Gouig there is a woman who knits with a machine. The thread is bought in the shops. There are no spinning wheels in this district.
