  2. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    There are two tailors in this district now and they work in their houses. One of them stocks cloth.
    Cloth is not spun or woven locally now, but it was in olden times.

    Tailors use a scissors, a machine, a tape, a large ruler, a needle, and a thimble.
