    made in the homes and sometimes with the tailors and dress-makers.
    Stockings and Sacks are knitted locally in the homes. There are no spinning wheels in the district that I know of.
    There are special dresses worn. At Death Black is worn. At weddings a big while veil and a long frock and nice shoes and stockings. Some wear wreaths and some wear hats and coats.
    Long ago the tailors went around from house to house and they usually stayed a week and made all the suits that were required to be made.
    They sat on the Kitchen table or on the Parlour table, if there was a second table.
