Greetings Team of
@diyhub. It has been a while sharing content here. I hope you're all fine. Today I would like to share how I finished my needle work ( repairing of my footwear for jogging).
I remember in my secondary school days when my shoes get damage I used to sew myself. I learnt how to sew it from a friend. But when I grew up I became lazy to sit and repair even when the thread is torn. My footwear is has damaged, the thread is torn and I found is easy to repair without taking to shoe maker. This is the state of the footwear before I began the needle work:
The Materials that I used
1• The use of shoe maker needle
2• Less than 1 yard thread
3• A pair of scissors
The process
The process was very simple using the above few tools to complete the repairs of my footwear.
First thing was to unfold the thread 🧵 and cutting twice the length of the affected part of the footwear that has damaged (torn). Looking at the problem, it was the right foot that has been affected.
The best option was to apply glue at the affected part first before sewing 🪡🧵 but I didn't have glue with me.
I began the sewing from right to left. I thought I missed up with my sewing skills but I still remember my early age when I use sew my own shoes when they tear.

The shoe maker needle has hook 🪝 getting to the pointed end. It's used to pick up the thread when it penetrates through the footwear.
I used to tip to penetrate the footwear from the right side. This by using the right hand, while the left hand was holding the threat which was inserted in the footwear. The thread was used to to lock the hook (eye). The needle was then pulled out from the footwear. This is the trick in sewing the footwear, either being shoe or whatsoever; At first, one need to pull out the tip of the thread leaving the other tip inside the footwear. The second penetration is the actual sewing where the the thread is crocheted as you sew( inserting the thread to pass through the other loop of thead pulled).

I can now have full pair of my footwear for jogging 👟, 😂!
Even though it has been a long time in sewing shoes and other footwear but I didn't find this difficult to sew. I used only few minutes to accomplish this task. I think for this minor repairs there isn't need to take my footwear to shoe maker. You also try it at home when you have free time any time you have your footwear damaged. Thanks for your attention!
