- There are two tailors in this district. They work in their homes and do not as formally go from house to house. Some tailors stock cloth. Cloth is not spun or made locally, tweed, serge, and home spun are used.
A proverb I heard, "A stitch in time saves nine."
The tailor uses a scissors, a sewing maching, a timble, a needle, and a tailors goose when he is working.
Shirts are not made in the homes they are bought in the shops. I do' nt know of any accounts of shirts or cloth made from flax grown locally.
