    parish now and they cannot get enough to do. Long ago, the tailors used to go round from house to house. They used sit cross legged on the kitchen table and sew the clothes. They used make all kinds of of suits for men and they used make bonnets for women. When the kitchen table couldn't be given to them they sat on a door left on two creels. The tailor supplied nothing but the needle. The people supplied the clothes and the thread. The tailors that's in this parish now are, Tailor Cowley who is living in Bonniconlon, and Tailor Hope who is living in Cloonta.
