Make your own soft soled leather shoes.

This page will help get you started, there was a period of about 3 years that I could not wear shoes of any kind on my feet, my friend Mary, started making me soft shoes.

She used things we found at the dump, LOL, or as she called it, the city exchange.

Old levi’s for the sole, old coats for a soft lining, pretty double knits or the material that struck her fancy for the tops.

This is much the same, but is a high top, Mary followed the canvas deck she or slip on shoe pattern, made them lined and simple.

At the time, I had a gift and antique shop, in Wellton, people liked my shoes so well that Mary made them in all sizes and I sold them in the store.

No, she didn’t get rich, but she made a little, of course if we had been on the internet.......how she would love it.

This thread never ceases to amaze me. I am going through from the beginning and copying what I need, putting them into different categories, so I do not use too much space on a .doc file. I do not have the confidence to sew. But, yesterday thought of trying to sew clothes for my children, so was searching craigslist in case anyone had any patterns they were giving away or selling. Here on 754 I see you posted clothing patterns online. Yay!
