- Tailors are very busy people. They have a clean job. They make all sorts of coats and frocks. Some tailors are employed by drapers to make clothes but the drapers sell them the cloth. The people used to weave the cloth in their own homes long ago. They have no spinning wheels nowadays but they have sewing machines. Tailors are always singing when they are sewing. They charge a pound to make a suit of clothes for a man. They have an electric iron called the tailor's goose, which they had not long ago. They are always kept busy especially during Summer. There are always tailors kept busy making clothes for the patients in the mental hospitals and the County homes.
