SEW-YR-OWN FABRIC SLIDES KIT
SEW-YR-OWN FABRIC SLIDES KIT
The kit for making your own QUILTED FABRIC SANDALS!
These are really fun and pretty simple to make and just might lead you into a whole new way of thinking about footwear. They’re totally customizable and a fine project for any shoe size or width.
I’ll email you a PDF pattern and video link for making the uppers (the strap part), using your own fabric stash. You’ll use your own fabric to create these pieces so I expect them to all be very unique to each maker.
Then I’ll send you kits with heavy leather outsoles and stacked leather heels, thick leather footbeds (in a number of colors listed below), Eco-Weld shoe glue, and a leather hole punch, locking utility knife + awl. The kits will have hard copies of the upper and sole patterns, the link to the 19min video showing how to make the fabric uppers, and simple step-by-step instructions on how to assemble and fit your sandals. Finally, I’ll give instructions on how to go about sanding the edges (or having them sanded by a cobbler).
What you need to have to make the fabric uppers:
~1sq foot fabric for the exterior (the part you’ll see)
~1sq foot soft fabric for inner lining
~3sq feet puffy wool or cotton batting for lining
~4 feet piped cord or binding/edge/trim (optional)
