ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER
Cotton is used to make shoes
and clothes. A needle and
cotton is used to sew
shoe patterns and dress
patterns together.
Cotton is made
from a natural
vegetable fibre
which comes from
the cotton
plant.
This piece of red leather has a pattern for a shoe on it. The pattern is tracedonto the leather and cutout using a knife. This process is called ‘clicking’.
Leather is made from the skins of animals. You can make leather from the skin
of any animal, but cows have the thickest skins to make the strongest.
The hammer is
made from wood
and metal. A
Shoemaker’s
hammer is
slightly different
to a general
woodworking
hammer.
One face of the hammer is slightly rounded. This is to stop the leather being marked by any sharp edges as the hammer comes into contact with it.
Leather is a
strong material
which will
protect the
shoemaker
while s/he
works.
A shoemaker or Cobbler would wear an
apron like this whilst making shoes.
The apron is made of leather.
This is a Chamberstick. people used Chambersticks to light their
way about the house during the 19th century, before the invention
of electricity.
The Shoemaker and his wife use a Chamberstick a few
times in the story, do you remember when?
