According to the opening chapters of the book of 

Genesis, the first clothes were animal skins given 

by God to disobedient Adam and Eve. Someone 

has pointed out that the first death in the Bible was 

therefore not of a human being, but of an animal who 

provided the fi rst fur coat for the comfort of men and women. 

Clothes, like food, fuel and the other basic necessities of life 

are rarely morally neutral. Ethical qualms have long pushed 

the fur industry into the economic margins, but in the history of 

fabric and clothing, animal skins have only been part of wider 

moral questions and concerns. Our ancestors drove species to 

extinction in their quest for meat and clothing, but more recently 

we have been just as exploitative of fellow humans. 

Cotton, the miracle plant that fuelled much of the West’s industrial and 

economic growth of the 19th Century, relied almost entirely on American 

slavery to harvest the crop, in often brutal conditions. The child and 

women factory workers of Lancashire were not technically enslaved, 

but their conditions were little better. The abolition of slavery in America 

and the introduction of the factory acts in this country improved matters 

but by making the production of clothes more expensive, 20th Century 

manufacturers simply outsourced the work to other countries where working 

conditions were unregulated and unsafe. In 2013 over 1,000 workers died 

when a clothing factory in Bangladesh collapsed. The factory made clothes 

for brands including Benetton, Monsoon, Mango and Primark. 

And whilst cotton growing no longer uses slaves as workers, the world is 

waking up to the considerable environmental impact that our desire for this 

cheap, durable and versatile fabric has. 20,000 litres of water are required 

to make one kilogram of cotton. Ninety-seven per cent of the water in the 

Pakistani river Indus is estimated to go into cotton manufacture – and this 

in a country that does not have universal access to clean water. 

Meanwhile, at the other end of the clothing scale, Burberry, along with 

other high-end fashion brands, deliberately burns millions of pounds-worth 

of clothes each year in order to prevent them from losing value. This, in a 

world, where many struggle to clothe themselves and keep warm. 

Nudism is, I suppose, one response to the ethical dilemmas thrown up by 

the clothing industry, though in chilly Sheffield I feel that it is not a practical 

one! Others, such as the poet Benjamin Zephaniah, are championing 

vegan clothes such as bamboo suits and coats made from recycled plastic 

bottles. Such products are, however, neither cheap nor readily available. 

More practically, I would suggest that we think carefully before throwing 

out clothes and buying new ones. Oxfam will take all clothes, reselling 

wearable ones and recycling those that are unusable. There is an Oxfam 

clothes point at the Archer Road Sainsburys. It is very 

diffi cult to be certain whether the clothes you buy have been 

ethically sourced, but it is possible to buy fair-trade cotton 

and ethically sourced clothes even in some of the bigger 

retailers like H&M. 

Sheffield in February can be very cold. I’m so grateful for 

my thick jumpers. Perhaps my gratitude should extend to 

those who have made them for me.

The Fabric of Life... 

Have you ever found 

yourself stroking fabric 

on a stall or in a shop 

which you just want to 

own? You are not alone! 

At sew4others, which started seven 

years ago, we love fabric and making 

quilts – which we give away to others 

who are need of comfort. So far have 

given away over 2,500 cuddle quilts 

to children in hospital, in homes, in 

foster care and in refuges. 

We are even trying to instil a love 

of fabric and sewing to those who fi nd 

themselves in a refuge – and they now 

fi nd that when they have fi nished an 

item of sewing, they get a real buzz from 

having created something unique. The 

quilts we make are not full bed size, they 

are just the right size to cuddle in. As 

well as these we also make as babysized 

quilts – and amazingly none of the 

quilts are the same! The quality of the 

Some of the quilts 

given for the Besom 

Christmas hamper 

appeal 

items made is quite outstanding and we 

hope that those receiving them will feel 

some of the love that has been put into 

making them. 

Although it was originally just for 

quilters, the knitters soon joined us. 

They have given nearly 2,000 blankets 

as well as over 3,000 baby hats, lots 

of cardigans for Baby Basics as well 

as shawls for the elderly and items for 

shoeboxes and Teddies for Tragedies 

which go to children suffering a tragedy 

anywhere in the world. Mostly, however, 

the quilts and blankets are given away 

locally in Sheffi eld and Chesterfi eld. 

We are a group of ladies of a certain 

age but we do have a man who joins 

us too. We all share a love of fabric and 

sewing and knitting and enjoy making 

things and enjoy giving them away too – 

which really means we have an excuse 

to make some more! 

We do not fundraise – we use our 

time and talents to help others and let 

them know that by the gift of a quilt,

Here’s how little it costs 

to advertise in 

somebody, somewhere, who they will 

never meet, does care about them. 

We are always surprised at the 

generosity of others in giving us fabric 

(albeit sometimes very odd pieces of 

cotton) and donations to buy wadding for 

the quilts. We meet once a month and 

each time we have a block challenge to 

make, which is then turned into a quilt 

ready to give away. It is amazing what 

we can do together as a team.

Sackcloth comes up a 

fair amount in the Bible. 

Usually made of goat’s 

hair, it is a coarse fabric 

which is (I would imagine) 

extremely uncomfortable to wear. 

Sackcloth is not fine clothing 

(Isaiah 3:24). Often in the Bible 

ashes appear alongside sackcloth: 

someone would put the ashes of 

burnt wood on their head, as well 

as wearing sackcloth. 

There are a variety of reasons 

in the Bible that people put 

on sackcloth (and 

often ashes, too). 

When Jacob, the 

father of the 

multi-coloured 

coat wearing 

dreamer 

Joseph, sees 

evidence 

pointing to 

the death of 

his favourite 

son, he tears 

his clothes and 

puts on sackcloth 

as a sign of mourning 

(Genesis 37:33-34). 

Sackcloth and ashes are also 

worn as a sign of morning for 

personal or national disaster. For 

example, Job, when he loses 

family, business and good health 

(Job 16:15), and Mordecai, when 

he learns of a plot to annihilate his 

people (Esther 4:1). These were 

the traditions of the past, just as 

our signs of mourning are wearing 

black at funerals, or leaving 

flowers at a crash site or outside a 

building. 

Daniel (rescued from the 

lions’ den) wears sackcloth and 

ashes, as well as fasting, in a 

time of prayer for the deliverance 

of Jerusalem (Daniel 9:3). But 

probably the most common 

occurrence of sackcloth in the 

Bible is its sign for repentance 

of sin. ‘Repentance’ and ‘sin’ are 

both loaded words, but essentially 

it is about turning away from 

something and turning back to 

God. In the story of Jonah (who 

gets swallowed by a fish), the 

Ninevites and their king fast, and 

(along with even their animals!) 

wear sackcloth as a sign of their 

repentance from their evil ways 

(Jonah 3:5-9). 

Repentance, along 

with self-examination, 

study and fasting, 

are traditional 

elements of 

the Christian 

season of Lent. 

On the first day 

of Lent, Ash 

Wednesday, 

it has been 

customary since 

the Middle Ages 

for Christians 

to be marked with 

ash in a cross shape, 

because of ash being a sign 

of repentance. 

However, it is uncommon for 

Christians to wear sackcloth 

today. Lent is the season of 

preparation before the greatest 

of the Christian festivals, Easter, 

where we remember the death 

and resurrection of Jesus. 

In this busy world we all need 

time and space to reflect on who 

we are and the things we do, to 

take a pause and rest from the 

things that consume us, and 

perhaps to take up something 

healthier. Lent is the annual 

Christian season that puts all 

these things on the agenda.

Little Norton’s Pioneering A 

Painted Fabrics Ltd was a high 

quality textile business with its 

premises at Little Norton Drive. 

The idea behind the company 

grew out of the innovative 

occupational art therapy pioneered by 

Mrs Annie Bindon Carter at Wharncliffe 

War Hospital during the First World War. 

Mrs Carter, who trained at Sheffield 

College of Art, worked as a hospital 

volunteer. She, with help from art 

student friends, ran art sessions for 

badly injured servicemen convalescing 

at the hospital. The relatively simple 

painting and stencilling techniques used 

by Mrs Carter enabled men to 

create prettily-designed 

fabrics as tea cosies, 

table mats, scarves 

and handkerchiefs 

for sale. This was 

successful and at 

the end of World 

War One, helped by 

public subscriptions, 

workshop premises 

were bought at West 

Bar. This enabled some 

ex-servicemen to work on the 

production of the fabrics and goods. 

By the early 1920s, the project needed 

larger, more suitable premises to provide 

space for living accommodation and 

workshops for the expanding business. 

An area of land and disused 

buildings were purchased 

at Meadowhead within 

the old Camp 3 

(Women’s section) 

of No.2 Northern 

Aircraft Repair Depot 

(NARD). Acquisition 

was helped by the 

Earl Haig Fund, local 

businesses and the 

United Services Fund 

amongst others. Some 

of the workshops from the 

NARD were converted to factory 

premises and the Women’s section hut 

accommodation used by the men and 

their families. 

It was officially opened in 1925 by 

Princess Mary (the Princess Royal), the 

company’s Royal Patron. 

This site became the permanent home 

for Painted Fabrics Ltd and allowed its 

workforce and product range to grow. 

Working with luxury fabrics like silk, 

chiffon, satin and velvet, designs were 

mostly hand-stencilled. Some blockprinting 

and screen-printing techniques 

were also used.

Art Therapy 

Assisted by her sister and Edith Jagger 

(also from Sheffi eld College of Art), 

Mrs Carter created designs for fabrics 

and clothes. In keeping with the high 

fashion of the time, styles were often 

brightly coloured and fl amboyant with 

oriental and bohemian infl uences. Mrs 

Carter promoted and sold the products 

with exhibitions of work, for example, 

at Claridges Hotel and in shops such 

as Liberty’s of Regent Street. They also 

accepted commissions, for example, 

a set of curtains produced for Earl 

Fitzwilliam at Wentworth Woodhouse 

and hung in the Long Gallery. 

Although, the Sheffi eld City Council 

sheltered housing on the site is known 

by the name and the Earl Haig Memorial 

Homes, built in 1928 to house some 

of the workforce, are still there, the 

buildings of Painted Fabrics have gone. 

The heyday of the business lasted about 

20 years but a century on, the inspiration 

of Painted Fabrics for what we now call 

‘art therapy’ lives on.

How Do You Decide What T 

When you got dressed this 

morning, how did you 

decide what to wear? 

Did you just grab the 

nearest pair of jeans and 

a sweatshirt ready for the school run, or 

maybe put on a smart suit for the offi ce? 

Perhaps you needed something practical 

and warm for an outside job. Can the 

Bible help us with these decisions? 

Indeed the subject of clothes 

is mentioned several times. 

Think of Joseph and his 

coat of many colours, or 

many pieces as some have 

suggested. At Christmas 

we don’t know what Mary 

dressed Jesus in, but we do 

know that he was wrapped in 

swaddling cloths. 

Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:25 that 

the body is more important than clothes. 

In verse 28 he asks why we worry about 

what to wear, God knows our needs. 

Worrying unduly about what to wear is 

one thing but perhaps the time has come 

when we should be concerned about 

the number of clothes that we buy, how 

they are made and how they affect those 

involved. Look at the label. What is your 

garment made from? Where 

was it made, and what are the working 

conditions like? Your t-shirt may be 100 

per cent cotton, for instance. How was 

that cotton grown? Did the farmer use 

chemical sprays and fertilisers, often very 

expensive and sometimes not applied 

properly, causing sickness to the user? 

Was the cotton crop sold for less than 

it cost to produce with the result that 

the farmer’s family would go hungry 

and not be able to afford for their 

children to go to school? 

What about the dyes used in 

your t-shirt’s production, or the 

design printed on the front? 

How do those dyes affect 

the factory workers and their 

environment? 

If you watched the BBC 

programme Fashion’s Dirty Secrets 

you would have learned from Stacey 

Dooley the true cost to people, both 

adults and children, in Indonesia who 

share the same polluted water courses 

as the factories. We have all been made 

aware how man-made fi bres are having 

such a dreadful effect on our planet. 

Many fabrics are woven; warp and 

weft working together to make a strong, 

useable cloth. Like warp and weft our 

lives are woven together with the people

To Wear? 

who make our clothes. Therefore we 

have a responsibility to make sure that 

we are not causing harm to them or to 

their environment by our choice of what to 

wear. 

It is easy to feel overwhelmed by 

issues such as these but there are 

positive things that we can do. If we can 

afford to do so we can choose organic, 

ethically-produced clothes and household 

goods. Seek them out on the internet. 

Find out the ethical and environmental 

position of the companies you buy from. 

Try the ‘About’ button on the website 

of your favourite fashion retailer for the 

information. You might be surprised! If 

you don’t like what you have learned then 

tell them. 

The Bible gives us good guidance as to 

how we should live and this includes how 

we make decisions day by day. In the Old 

Testament, Isaiah 56:1 says, “Maintain 

justice and do what is right”. Read Isaiah 

58 – in that chapter he has a lot to say on 

the subject. The prophet Micah sums it 

up simply, “Act justly, love mercy and walk 

humbly with your God”.

Demanding change 

Fashion Revolution is an 

organisation made up of designers, 

academics, writers, business 

leaders, policymakers and retailers. 

Its vision is to see a fashion industry 

that values people, the environment, 

creativity and profi t in equal measure. 

The organisation is encouraging 

people to ask brands the question 

‘Who made my clothes?’ and 

demand greater transparency in the 

fashion supply chain. 

Its aim is to unite people and 

organisations to work together 

towards radically changing the way 

our clothes are sourced, produced 

and consumed, so that our clothing is 

made in a safe, clean and fair way.

Netherby Knit and Natter 

was started in 2012 

following the death of my 

eldest son, Will. He 

died in October 

2011 from lymphoma 

and was in the 

care of St Luke’s 

Hospice for just 24 

hours. 

My husband, 

John and I visited 

relatives just after 

Will’s death and 

someone mentioned 

that they had joined 

a local group called 

‘Knit and Natter’. Whilst 

socialising the group 

were also able to 

raise funds for local 

charities. 

Upon returning 

to Sheffield I told 

my daughter-inlaw 

Amy, Will’s 

widow, about 

the group we had 

heard about and 

she suggested that 

we form one ourselves. 

We named it Netherby Knit 

and Natter, Netherby being the 

name of Will and Amy’s house in 

Hathersage. We also agreed that, 

once formed, the group would 

raise funds for St.Luke’s. 

This small idea has led into a 

very successful project. All group 

meetings take place at my home 

in Abbey Lane where we sit and 

talk and finish up with eating 

lunch. Some members knit and 

others sow and all of the items we 

produce are sold at a regular sale 

which is also held at my house 

and open to everyone. We sell 

high quality items and, as well as 

the knitwear and other clothing, 

someone also sells beautiful 

wooden ornaments. We also bake 

and sell tea and coffee with all 

donations going to St.Luke’s. 

A raffle is also held at 

each sale. 

We have held 

many sales since 

the very first one 

in 2012, most 

of them at my 

house and we 

have raised, 

to date, the 

amazing sum of 

£13,169.74. 

I would like to 

thank all those who have 

supported the group, 

either by knitting 

or sowing, or by 

attending our 

sales. 

I have been 

touched that so 

many people 

obviously care 

and to know that, 

through our efforts, 

we can make a 

difference to other’s 

lives in so many different 

ways.

Sharing Our Talents 

Busy Hands is a Small 

Group of St Chad’s 

Church. We meet 

fortnightly and are a 

‘self-help’ group – we 

do not invite a tutor or anyone 

to demonstrate. We have 

many and varied talents which 

we share with one another - 

sometimes successfully and 

sometimes not so successfully! 

However, there is a great deal of 

fun and laughter. 

Over the years we have made 

items for church and outside 

organisations. The tapestry 

kneelers and cushions in the 

chancel were made when 

Yvonne Smith was the leader 

and the hanging banner in the 

chancel (pictured right) was 

made and dedicated to a dear 

member of the group who died 

before it was completed, Gill Buck. 

One of our group worked with 

preschool blind or partially sighted 

children so we made a “touch and 

feelie” play mat and also a book 

with different textures and sounds 

which was much appreciated. 

We use various types of 

materials in our work e.g. we have 

painted bottles with L.E.D. lights 

inside, made mosaic plant pots, 

jewellery, polymer buttons, mats, 

cards, soap, chocolates, boxes, 

fabric book covers, done napkin 

folding, created water-colour 

pictures and felting to make small 

animals. As you can see, our 

crafts are very varied and we hope 

some are suitable for our varied 

abilities. 

A few years ago we made a 

patchwork quilt which we gave to 

a home for teenagers in care. The 

idea was that when that person 

left the home they would take it 

with them and have something 

personal for themselves. This 

spring we are planning to make 

another quilt. What we will do with 

it is still undecided, maybe raffle it 

for a charity or give it to a needy 

person. We support the Christmas 

Shoebox Appeal with knitting and 

gift and we also knit for C.A.R.T, 

the Christian African Relief 

Trust, based in Huddersfield. 

In November we had a coffee 

morning and craft sale to support 

street children in Guatemala, all of 

which the items were had crafted. 

I should point out that many of 

the items we make we keep for 

ourselves, of which we are proud 

but also there are items we hide 

away in shame! Being a Small 

Group, we start all our meetings 

with prayer and a short mediative 

reading and we close with prayer. 

We also support each other in 

times of need. 

We hope this gives you an 

insight into Busy Hands’ activities. 

Beryl Wright and Mary Diskin, 

Busy Hands small group

A History of Our Jewish 

From 1967 until 1971 ITV broadcast 

a series called Never Mind the 

Quality, Feel the Width. It featured 

a Jewish tailor called Manny 

Cohen (played by John Bluthal, 

who recently died and was better 

remembered as Frank Pickle in The 

Vicar of Dibley) and an Irish tailor called 

Patrick Kelly. 

The series poked fun at both Jews 

and Catholics without being offensive. 

It perpetuated the stereotype of the 

small Jewish man, bent over a table 

with a tape measure over his shoulders, 

cigarette in the corner of his mouth. The 

Jewish tailor. 

Traditional tailoring is called bespoke 

tailoring in the UK, where the heart of 

the trade is London’s Savile Row. In 

the USA and Hong Kong it is called 

custom tailoring. This is unlike “made 

to measure” which uses pre-existing 

patterns (also known as ‘off the peg’). A 

bespoke garment or suit is completely 

original and unique to each customer. 

A list of famous tailors would include 

such as Hardy Amies of Savile Row who 

designed clothes for the Queen, but 

also US tailors including Jacob Davis, 

credited with inventing the modern jeans, 

and Levi Strauss of blue jeans fame. 

There was a tradition of immigrant 

Jewish tailors in many British cities. In 

London’s East End they worked long 

hours for meagre pay and got out of 

the East End when better opportunities 

came along. Stockman Brothers was 

an example of a family firm in what was 

known as the rag trade. 

They became quite wealthy making 

uniforms and jodhpurs in the Second 

World War and were known as good 

employers but many in that business had 

to exist as poorly paid piece-workers to 

make ends meet. 

Working conditions often continued 

to be poor, even into the early 20th 

century. One factory in Whitechapel was 

described as “a big old cellar, almost 

completely dark except for some little 

glass bricks set in the pavement and one 

light bulb”. This business bought off-cuts 

from tailors and ended up making more 

money from collecting unused fabric to 

send North for the paper industry than 

could be made making clothes. Many 

brought pieces of fabric home and the 

whole family became involved to try and 

provide food on the table. 

Leeds has a large Jewish community 

of around 10,000. Montague Burton was 

a Lithuanian Jew who fled pogroms in 

his country of birth and became known 

as the man who “dressed British men”. 

He opened his first store in Chesterfield. 

Joseph Hepworth was another Jewish 

tailor in Leeds who became a household 

name. Another business was the Fifty

Shilling Tailors who became John Collier. 

Jews have been involved in clothing 

throughout history. The fi rst mention 

comes as early as Genesis Chapter 37 

when Jacob gives his son Joseph a coat 

of many colours (probably two sizes too 

big so he can grow into it.) But did anyone 

also know that Moses was a clothier? No 

mention of him fl ogging waterproofs at 

the Red Sea! Nothing about fashion in 

the ten commandments! However, Moses 

of E.Moses and Son of Aldgate, east 

London, pioneered men’s fashion starting 

early in the 19th century. And another 

Moses, Moses Moss founded Moss Bros, 

well known hirers of formal wear. Before 

he changed his name he was Moses 

Moses (so good they named him twice!) 

Volume selling at low prices, rather than 

bespoke tailoring, became the order of 

the day and the Moses brothers, together 

with their in-laws, the Hyams, were the 

leaders of that trade. Off-the-peg and 

Made-to-Measure now ruled.

I 

have previously told 

you about St Chad’s 

Befriending Group and how 

we are willing to spend 

an hour or so a month 

becoming a friend to an elderly, 

home-restricted person. 

I appreciate you only have my 

word as to what those visited 

thinks about this arrangement. 

The other day one of our 

team gave me this letter with 

a message. Her message was 

‘Please use my letter to tell the 

lonely and those unable to get 

out and about how wonderful it is 

to have my new friend come and 

talk with me’. 

Thank you Dee for giving me 

permission to print your words. 

If you would like to know more 

or to recommend someone 

please contact the Church Offi ce 

and I will get back to you. 

Yvonne Smith 

Have you heard of the 

Befrienders? Well, if you 

are alone and want someone 

to come and talk with you 

every now and then why 

don’t you do what I did? 

My name is Dee and 

believe me, my Befriender 

really lifted me up. Every 

time she came, when she 

left I looked forward to her 

next visit and she has now 

become a friend. We just sit 

and talk about life, my life 

and hers. 

You could have this, They 

are waiting for anyone who 

is lonely and would like to be 

friends. It really helps you in 

your loneliness and then you 

could look forward to their 

next visit just like me.

Services The Witness at St of Chad’s Cloth 

S 

It’s a curious fact that 

Jesus began and ended 

his earthly life wrapped 

in cloth. Luke tells us that 

Mary wrapped her baby 

in ‘swaddling cloths’ before laying 

him in the manger. These were 

strips of cloth traditionally used 

to keep a baby still and warm, 

mimicking the security of the 

womb. Many cultures still swaddle 

babies in this way. 

But strips of linen cloth can also 

be used to wrap and mummify 

a dead body; together with the 

Magi’s gift of myrrh, a traditional 

embalming spice, we glimpse a 

hint that Jesus was literally born 

to die. 

All four gospels tell us that when 

Joseph of Arimathea recovered 

the body of Jesus after he was 

crucifi ed, he wound it in linen 

before placing it in a tomb. John 

also mentions that he brought 

myrrh. So once again Jesus was 

bandaged up like a mummy, 

apparently helpless… 

But Luke and John tell us that 

when the women among Jesus’ 

friends came on the Sunday 

morning to embalm the body, it 

wasn’t there! Hearing this, Peter 

and John ran to the tomb and 

saw the strips of linen lying on 

the ground; John says that at this 

point he believed. 

Presumably he believed that 

Jesus had risen from death. 

The gospel writers tell us that 

as Jesus hung upon the cross 

the soldiers shared out his 

clothes: this was a grisly “perk” 

for the execution squad. But one 

garment was unusual, woven 

without seams, and they cast lots 

for this, maybe by rolling a dice. 

Unknowingly, they were acting out 

the startlingly detailed predictions 

of Psalm 22, written hundreds of 

years earlier. 

At the moment of Jesus’ death 

another piece of cloth suffered a 

strange mishap. In the Jerusalem 

temple hung a heavy tapestry 

curtain, about 60 feet long. It 

covered the “most holy place” 

where God was thought to be. 

Only the high priest could go in 

there, during a special annual 

ceremony. Suddenly, as Jesus 

died, this enormous curtain 

was torn from top to bottom – 

something about the death of 

Jesus meant that the way in to 

God was now open to everyone. 

The tearing of the temple 

curtain; the fulfi lled prophecy; 

the strips of linen lying on the 

fl oor of the empty tomb; all silent 

witnesses that Jesus was far more 

than just another Jewish hothead 

crucifi ed by the Romans. 

Is he woven into the fabric of 

your life?

The poem below, Life is but a Weaving or The Tapestry Poem, 

was often quoted by Corrie Ten Boom, a Dutch survivor of the 

concentration camps who, along with her family, opened up her 

home as hiding place for fugitives and those hunted by the Nazis. 

My life is but a weaving 

Between my God and me. 

I cannot choose the colours 

He weaveth steadily. 

Oft’ times He weaveth 

sorrow; 

And I in foolish pride 

Forget He sees the upper 

And I the underside. 

Not ’til the loom is silent 

And the shuttles cease to fl y 

Will God unroll the 

canvas 

And reveal the 

reason why. 

The dark threads are as needful 

In the weaver’s skillful hand 

As the threads of gold and silver 

In the pattern He has planned 

He knows, He loves, 

He cares; 

Nothing this truth 

can dim. 

He gives the very 

best to those 

Who leave the 

choice to Him.”
