    There are three tailors in my district, their names are, Mr Reilly, Mr Clerkin and Mr Coyle. They work in their own homes. They do not stock the cloth. There is no cloth spun and woven in my district. Tailors a use tweed and serge. There are no stories Connected with tailors or tailoring. Tailors use scissors, irons, pins and needles.
    Shirts are not made in my home. There are no accounts of shirts made of cloth. of flax grown in the district. Socks and stockings are knitted in our home. The thread is not spun at home. There are no spinning wheels in this district.
    Special kinds of clothes are worn on special occasions, people wear their best clothes on holidays, and people wear black clothes at a funeral.
