    Clothes.
    There are no tailors in this district but there is one a mile away in Finea.
    The tailors work at their own homes. The clothes are not spun or woven in this district because there are no spinning wheels
    The implements used are scissors thread, spools, sewing machine, needles
    A great many of the clothes are made in the homes also knitting
    Black clothes are worn on the death of a relative and bright clothes at a wedding
    I heard no sayings connected with tailors or tailoring
