- Clothes made locally.There is only one tailor here now. He works at his home. He does not stock cloth. which is not spun or woven. now.
He uses the usual things i.e. a scissors, irons, sewing machine, Etc. His father when young used to go round from house to house making the clothes for families. That would be about more than 60 years ago.
No shirts are made in the homes.
Socks & stockings are Knitted locally but the thread is bought in the shops.
There are no spinning wheels in the district.
