Good evening everyone,

Yesterday I decided to work on a female slippers and I used a shinny material I got from the market the last time I went to buy things. Unfortunately for me I never knew they weren't of good quality. As I was working on the slippers I realized the shinny parts were peeling. After making the shoes I had to glue the edges to avoid it peeling off.

The first thing I did was I cut out the pattern for the straps which I'll be showing in the process part.

The materials I used include:

  • Nora
  • Shinny leather
  • Thick black leather for the lining
  • Gum
  • Light Maco

PROCESS

  • First I made out the pattern on a cardboard as seen below. Then I transferred the pattern on the leather. Initially I wanted to tape the edge of the top shinny leather but after gumming it started peeling so I had to cut of the edges.

  • Next I cut out the shape of the leg, placed it on the top and sole Nora,marked and cut them out. After that I reduced the shape and use it to cut the light Maco.

  • Next thing I did was to apply gum on the Maco and Nora and gum them together as seen below. I also gummed the heel with the down Nora too.

  • At this stage, the slippers is almost complete. The next thing I did was to gum a light black leather on the gummed Maco and Nora as seen below then trimmed it out. Finally I stitched the sides on my sewing machine.

Actually, someone told me today that a guy can also use it too. I guess I'll call it unisex then. Thanks for the comment.
