A bellows-mender is someone who repairs bellows, the instrument which puffs air into a fire to make it hotter. The bellows consists of two hinged pieces of wood with a leather bag attached to them, and the leather of the hinges and the bag was always wearing out.

What is FLUTE role in the play midsummer night dream?

Flute is a bellows-mender. He repairs bellows which were used to blow air on a fire to make it hotter. A bellows was sort of like an accordion: two pieces of wood were hinged with flexible leather between them. In one of the pieces of wood there was a valve which let air into the bellows but did not let it out; there was a nozzle pointing at the fire. As the bellows were opened, air was drawn through the valve into the leather bag, and when they were closed, the air was forced out through the nozzle. Of course the leather bag tended to get worn through use, and it was a bellows-mender's job to fix it. Flute's name and his job are jokes, as he is the one with the high-pitched voice who is going to play the girl, Thisbe. Hence "Flute", a high-pitched musical instrument. A bellows, however, makes a lot of huffing and puffing and wheezing and grunting sounds which, coming from a person, would sound most unladylike.
