Step-by-Step Video Tutorial

Step 1: Trace Your Foot and Create the Pattern

1. Place your foot on a piece of paper and trace around it with a pencil or fabric marker.
2. Add an extra 1/2 inch around the entire outline to create a seam allowance.
3. Cut out the pattern and transfer it to the leather or vegan leather.

Step 2: Cut and Sew the Upper

1. Cut out two pieces of leather or vegan leather for the upper using the pattern.
2. Sew the two pieces together along the edges, leaving the top open.
3. Reinforce the seams with extra stitches or adhesive.

Step 3: Create the Sole

1. Cut out a piece of leather or vegan leather for the sole that is slightly larger than your foot pattern.
2. Shape the sole to fit your foot using scissors or a knife.
3. Sand the edges of the sole to smooth them.

Step 4: Attach the Upper to the Sole

1. Place the upper over the sole and center it.
2. Sew the upper to the sole around the edges.
3. Reinforce the seams with extra stitches or adhesive.

Step 5: Add Laces or Straps

1. If desired, add laces or straps to the shoes for a secure fit.
2. Punch holes in the upper where you want the laces or straps to go.
3. Insert the laces or straps and tie them securely.
