  1. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    There is no tailor in this village now. When the people want a suit of clothes they go to some tailor in Westport who has cloth and he will make the suit for him.
    There was a tailor living in Drummin years ago. He went from house to house as he was wanted. It would take him three days to make a suit of clothes.
    The bpéidín was home made. The women spun it, and then
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
