    Share Share Post
    There are four tailors in this parish. They do their work at home. The tailor sells factory cloth and home spun cloth. Home spun suits and shop cloth suits are worn.
    Calico shirts are made at home. Long ago home spun shirts were worn.
    Home spun stockings are made here. The thread is spun at home. There are two spinning wheels in this place.
    After a death in the family people were black bands on the cuffs of their coats.
