- There is one tailor in district. His name is James Rabbit and he lives in Keel. He works at home and he never goes round making clothes. His implements are a machine, scissors, goose, chalk, lap-board, needles, thimble, measuring - tape. He does not stock cloth. When a man is getting clothes made he brings the cloth and the tailor measures him. My mother has three spinning wheels and she spins sheep's wool with them. She has a knitting - machine with which she knits socks and stockings. She also makes shirts at home.
