What talent did Hester use to support herself and Pearl? from The Scarlet Letter, Chapter 5

Despite her
adorned "A", however,wore very plain clothes herself.  The fancy clothes she made were
for the women of the town.  It is ironic and hypocritical that these women are still judging her
for "outlandish" behavior, when by Puritan standards, Hester is dressing appropriately
and they are being outlandish.  Not to mention that they criticize her constantly but still buy
from her!
