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.

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.”
