“Long ago people made their own clothes.”
Long ago people made their own clothes. They made thread with the "Spinning Wheel" and cloth with the "Loom". It was generally the old people that used the "Spinning Wheel" and the "Loom".
It was usually petticoats and waistcoats that were made out of the flannel. The flannel waistcoat was much like an ordinary coat. It was called the bawneen. It had no buttons and the men used knot the ends of it, to keep it tidy around them.- Collector
