i will never buy shoes again.i bought this pattern on etsy quite awhile ago, but then got distracted. a few weeks ago i went out and bought all the necessary supplies; jute twine, 3 balls worsted weight cotton for the inner soles, and 1 ball worsted weight cotton for the body.
they work up real fast.
but i found that despite the triple cotton sole on top, the jute made my feet itchy. i ended up cutting a liner out of scrap denim, folding under the edges and zigzag stitching it. then hand sewed it in.
while i was working on my maryjanes, both my partner and my son declared they wanted some too.
so i went back to her etsy shop and bought 2 more patterns.kiddo decided he wanted slippers first, so i'll be making some outside shoes for him soon.
and for my man, i got the awesome slippers pattern, and made the outer sole from hemp, which seemed to be less scratchy.
i am so in love with this concept, and after a few goes in a few sizes i feel confident to tweak her pattern, and make it my own.
i could make anything now, from sandals to boots
look for updates soon
