  2. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    There are not many tailors around my district. There are two of the one name as McKeon of Annaduff.
    They stock no clothes but only make the clothes they get from the people into suits, coats etc.
    There is a family in my district names Kellys who send away the wool from their sheep to be woven into cloth to make their suits and overcoats and they also get the bed clothes woven from home spun wool.
    A sowing machine scissors tapes needle and thread and chalk to draw a straight line to sow on, are used for tailoring.
    There are a great many people in my district that make home shirts
