This footwear was made for the friend as a thank you for his support financially and constant concern during my brother's stay at the hospital for a surgery, I must confess, I was overwhelmed by his generosity and kindness, and I never expected much support from him given the fact that, we've bearily knew each other for more than 8month, but now I know better, that truly, a friend in need, is a friend indeed.
So without further ado, come with me, as I take you through the process of making footwear's like the one we have in the image above.
MATERIALS USED
- Skin material

- Marco material insole

MAKING PROCESS
- For you to craft out a shoe, what you must first do is to know/measure the foot size of the the person you're making the footwear for, here the foot size of the the person is size 44.
- I started cutting the skin material which I'll be using for my shoe upper, I also cut the Marco material for the insole, and then, cut the lining materials for both the shoe upper and the insole.
After that, I placed the cut upper of the slippers on the lining to cut out it shape, I also did the same for the insole, before finally Sewing the lining together with the skin material for the upper of the slippers.
- I applied gum on the edges of the upper and joined it together, then tested it on a shoe last, attached the thing robe in the front, and cover it with a skin material, before pressing and Sewing it, and last puting it between a silicon tube.
- I attached the GG logo.
- constructing the insole, punch a hole on it and attached the upper to the insole.
- Going into the final stages, I applied gum on the back of the insole and the inner part of the sole, and then attached it together, I also applied super glue on the edges so it can stick together very well.
- After completing all the processes, I polished the slippers and here is how the slippers is looking gorgeous.
I haven't given him the footwear, yet, but I'm certain he'll love it once i deliver it to him.
