We were taken to Banff on the last day of our visit to Medicine Hat and stopped off on the way at a log cabin restaurant. It was the best food ever and it had it,s very own souvenir shop inside. We bought 2 pairs of sheepskin-lined moccsins which were so lovely and lasted forever. I would absolutely love more of the same.
I have watched all of your videos so many times. Thank you. I have a picture in my mind of what I want to make. I need to get over my intimidation and just do it. Your videos are so informative. Thank you again.
Have you considered using a true saddle stich or baseball stitch using a stitching pony? Stitching then becomes decorative and the pony takes some stress off the hands.
Hi, Yes, but with shoe stitching the leather needs to be moved so frequently that I found it frustrating- it would be good if I would make a video to show how it would be done - thanks!
You need to use a stiching pony its $25 its a wooden clamp to help you stich i wood place a peace of leather on each side of the clap so it dosenot. Mar your beautiful work thank u for making this vedio i hope u will make more :)
Looks great but I would've done a saddle stitch in a grove on the sole if you plan on wearing them outside. Whip stich doesn't protect the thread from being worn down by walking. Just my humble opinion.
Is your book How To Make Moccasins still available? Do you have instructions or a different video on making this pattern? I enjoy your video, and I’d like to make a pair for my large feet.
Hi, You have inspired me to put my moccasin-making book for free on my website, there are pattern imperfections that I don't think I'll ever have the time to correct, but you could still learn a lot from it, I hope! Just enlarge patterns on copy machine, make felt mock-ups to customize pattern.. Breaking news! Here's the link! drive.google.com/file/d/1PZ6mNBuoYY1sXxCqsiBFqvfL1TZCgjYd/view?usp=sharing
Hi, I made a model shoe over a last with the upper cemented to the sole, then punched holes through upper and sole, took it apart and made patterns for both..I have a video on how to make your own lasts that would work for pattern-making.
@@simpleshoemaking That's what socks are for. I had hockey skates that had a foam bootie that clamped into a plastic shell. Not nearly as good as leather! Add a wool sock and one or two thin linen or cotton...Voila.
Here's the link to a moccasin book I made years ago, some of the patterns don't match up well and there are other flaws, but the book might still be useful, please let me know if you make a pair! drive.google.com/file/d/1PZ6mNBuoYY1sXxCqsiBFqvfL1TZCgjYd/view?usp=sharing

Try back stitching and using a saddle stitch for the heel.
You learn something every day! isn't life great!!??? :D

Do you have a Common Folk pattern on YT?
Looks great but I would've done a saddle stitch in a grove on the sole if you plan on wearing them outside. Whip stich doesn't protect the thread from being worn down by walking. Just my humble opinion.
What do you recommend for adhesive for the rubber outer sole to the bottom of the shoe??
Wow! Lots of work but beautiful!
Do you sale them? I would like a purple pair ✨✨✨✨✨💜
A more complete video would be great

Top!
How did you figure out the spacing of the holes in the vamp/tongue to the holes in the body/bottom?
Hi, I made a model shoe over a last with the upper cemented to the sole, then punched holes through upper and sole, took it apart and made patterns for both..I have a video on how to make your own lasts that would work for pattern-making.
Great Work👍👏👏Thank you😍
These would be great for snap on rollerblade or rollerskating booties.
ah, they would supply comfort but the skates would mold close to the foot?!

do you use rubber cement? Lots of great pointers, TY.
I❤yours vídeos !

@@simpleshoemaking TY so much! It looks like a wonderful book. I'll read it asap.
I tried to order some of our books from etsy and could not. Is thereer another way to order your books?
Where is the first part, this does not help without it.
Moccasin. Sin is shoes in korean language.
It's interesting how many words line up like that.
how do you know what size plug to cut
Where do you get the natural rubber sole material?
1kkmage I sell it on my etsy site, www.etsy.com/shop/simpleshoemaking.com
Sharon Raymond The link seems to be broken. It directs me to etsy bit it says your page doesn't exist.
+Cory Glenn Thank you (:
no worries!!
only in india
I got to 36:32 and thought she wasn't going to make it.
Where you get this kind of soul ?
It's soul ?
It's sole I think.
Sole is the bottom of the foot or bottom of the shoe. Soul is inside of the body that makes up the spiritual part of a person
English is the worst.
Try a cobbler or a shoe store.
Are you willing to sell them? I would gladly pay 150$++ for them
Oops I meant your books not our books.
