Upon these views I began to consider about putting the few rags I had, which I called clothes, into some order; I had worn out all the waistcoats I had, and my business was now to try if I could not make jackets out of the great watch-coats which I had by me, and with such other materials as I had; so I set to work, tailoring, or rather, indeed, botching, for I made most piteous work of it.
Había gastado todos los chalecos y ahora debía intentar hacer algunas chaquetas con las capas y los demás materiales que tenía. Empecé pues a hacer trabajos de sastrería, más bien estropicios, pues los resultados fueron lastimosos.
