The seamstress's were often referred to as a Tailor or as a Dress-maker. They also would make flags such as Betsy Ross. She was a very famous seamstress. Their tools included scissors, needles, and thread. They used mainly cotton as a fabric and couldn't use silk because it was too expensive. They were under-paid and worked all day. Most of them were poor and treated as slaves and only few became rich.
