  1. Tailors

    Share Share Post
    There is one tailor in our district. His name is Kiernan. He has a very comfortable and lives very convenient to the road. He has all sorts of thread and other things. He makes men's suits and sometimes women's coats. He has a very nice house with one big window on it. He has a bench also and he sits up on this with his legs crossed. He sells material himself. He has a flat board that is called a goose for pressing the clothes and a big iron and a pair of scissors. He has a very clean job. He never gets wet or cold and is always dry and clean. Long ago tailors used to go round from house to house to take peoples' measures to see would the suits fit.
