- There is only one tailor in my district. He lives in Clooneen about two miles from Mogvore. His name is Flattery.
He works in his own home. the tailor does not stock cloth. There is no spinning or weaving done in my district. Fine tweeds and navy serges are worn locally. The only saying I know of is that a tailor is the ninth part of a man. The implements the tailor uses are a sewing machine, an iron which he calls a "goose", a thimble and a board on which he presses clothes. The thimble he uses is a big one. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
