  1. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    There are no Tailors living in our district at the present. There were a few tailors living there a few years ago. This tailor used to work in his own house. He stocked no cloth. Cloth is not spun locally. Clothes are not worn made of such cloth. There are no stories or traditions connected with any tailor or tailoring. The tailors used a machine when working. Shirts are not made in this district. Socks and stockings are knitted locally, the thread is not spun in the homes. There is not any spinning wheels in the district.
