Her Claim to Fame are some sort of patterns. I thought she meant design patterns until she mentioned the odd detail of...conserving leather out of respect for the Twelveswood. Odd regarding design patterns...but not so much when in the context of Shoes. On the other hand IIRC the type of shoes called "Patterns" are usually CRP crafts. So I want some confirmation (the hindsight has mean leaning more towards "shoes" then "tessellating/repeating designs")
(Apologies if this was answered previously; if it was, I missed it!)
I assumed that Geva was referring to the pattern (template) used to cut out shapes of leather that are subsequently sewn (or otherwise fastened together/manipulated) to create leather items -- like a sewing pattern is used to make clothing. A carefully-designed pattern will allow you to fit the pattern pieces very efficiently onto a piece of fabric or leather, leading to minimal material being wasted when you cut out the shapes.
The type of shoe you mention are called pattens (no "R") -- they are CRP crafts because they are actually wooden platforms worn over regular shoes to protect them from mud and filth in the streets and to raise clothing hems up as well. (In-game, the model for pattens include the leather shoe as well.)
