  1. Tailoring

    Share Share Post
    Long ago when people would want to make a suit of clothes the tailor would come to the house to make them.
    The people used to make the material.
    People now buy the cloth themselves and take it to the tailor and the tailor would take their measure.
    Long ago tailors used to go around making clothes but now they make them at home.
    There are many tailors in the district now.
    The tailors use a foot machine for sewing and some one else is helping them.
