Greetings to my fellow needleworkers and friends in the Needleworkmonday Community and hive at large, it's a beautiful Monday evening and today being Monday means our community will be pileup with mind-blowing needlework project, and here I'm to add mine into the collections.
Ever since i brought this shining suede leather material some weeks back, most of my clients and passers by as always been attracted to everyone footwear I made with it, and that was thereby bring about more orders to be made with such fabric, just like this half shoe I made for a passerby who saw the footwear I made with the material from my showcase and there ask that I made a lovely half with my digression with the same material.
Here are some of the process of how I made these gorgeously looking half shoe.
MATERIALS USED
- Shining suede material
- Soft feather fabric
- Marco size 8
- Polyurethane Soles
- Gum
- Fiber
- Super Glue
- Logo
MAKING PROCESSES
I begin the half shoe by cutting every necessary parts of the insole and the upper, gum them together and sewing it edge's and the leather holding the logo.
- I also cut the fiber material meant for the insole, which I attached to a Marco size 4, and then wrap the lining around it, then nailed it to my shoe last for perfect lasing process.
- After those I grinder the back of the upper with the grinder machine, then I last it around the shoe last and the insole needled on it.
- After this was achieve, the I took one leg of the half shoe to the market, so I can get a perfect sole that'll fit the shape perfectly.
Note: This is a strategy I use most times when I'm making a shoe or half shoe, so that I won't have issues of managing a not too perfect sole on the footwear,in case I don't do that, I usually buy a bigger size of sole, that can be cut to any shape I like, like the way I did here and here.
- So after purchasing the perfect sole, I went back to my store, and continue with the project by rubbing gum on the insole and the outsole, I also remove the nailed I use it nailing the insole to the shoe last, after which I attached both the sole and the outsole together, and then apply some super glue in the edges for firm sticking.
- And here is how the half shoe made with the shining suede leather and the soft feather fabric looks like.
That's all for today, thanks so much for standing with me to the last dot, till we meet in the next project, have a great and remarkable week ahead.
