    There is only one tailor in my district. Jack Kelly Currabaha. Borrisoleigh. He make's clothes in his own house and he stores up cloth for making the clothes. The thread is not spun locally but the clothes are worn. The people wear the clothes he makes. The implements he use in work are needles timbles Scissors. There is a shirt made in the houses locally. The people buy the cloth in the shop to make them. The people knit socks and stockings in the houses, The used to spin thread before in the house. There was a spinning wheel at Tom Droney's in days long ago. The people in days long ago used to have specials clothes for going to feast.
