    In olden times nearly every one had a spinning wheel. Tailors used to go around to the houses when they had work to do. Sometimes they used to make the clothes of bought cloth and at other times of home spun cloth. If you brought the cloth to the tailors house it would be cheaper than if he came to your house. The implements he has are as follows a sewing machine, a kneedle, a thimble and some thread. There are many tailors around here bu there are many dressmakers.
