the cobbler should stick to his last
- the cobbler should stick to his last
syn: let every tailor stick to his goose
every man to his trade
не берися не за своє діло
≅ коли не піп, то й в шати не одягайся
не піп – не сунься в ризи: не сунь голови, куди не влізе
коли не коваль, то й кліщів (або рук) не погань
знає майстер, що робить
не нам попа судить – нехай його Бог судить
знай, шевче, своє шевство, а в кравецтво не мішайся
в умілого і цвях голить, а в нього і бритва не бере
every man to his trade
