Hello, my name is Mary Joseph. I am a Milliner.
The first thing I do is measure the person I am making the dress for. Then I measure the cloth. Then I cut, stitch, and decorate the dress. The tools I use are a needle, a thimble, a hoop, and a ruler. The materials I use are thread, fabric, ribbon, lace, wool, and straw. I make hats, dresses, gloves, and shirts. I sell hats, belts, gloves, feathers, tassels, buttons, buckles, and shoes that came from Europe.

Hello, my name is Eve Hopkins. I am a Milliner.
I make hats. The first thing I do is plan a hat. Then I get materials like pins, string, and feathers. Next, I cut them. I have to shape it into a mold, and then I am ready to sew it. These are the materials I use: cloth, string, lace, and wood for the box to save the hats. These are the tools: scissors to cut, needle to sew, spring wheel and pearls. Got to go.
