Tailoring is a profession that allows you to craft armor for Mages and Priests out of cloth. You can also make bags, some of which will be highly sought after. This profession is best paired with Enchanting, but can theoretically be paired with any other profession. Cloth drops off mobs and cannot be gathered as such. Tailoring has 3 specialisations; Mooncloth, Spellfire and Shadowcloth. All prices in this guide are approximate, they may differ slightly depending on where you buy recipes and your server.
