Making a football
Regardless of whether the ball is made from leather or from a synthetic material, the method of making a hand-sewn ball has changed very little over the last hundred years. One well-known name in the 1970s was that of Minerva, who manufactured balls in North London.
This step-by-step demonstration shows how a ball was made back then. The process is more automated now, with printing, weatherproofing, cutting and hole-punching done by machinery, but hand-sewing is still done in exactly the same way now as it was a century ago.
