You can tie it over the instep or at the heel – or insert an elastic band or shock-cord so they are easy to slip on and off. Thong – You will need a thin strip of leather or other material to thread through openings along the topline. Motorcycle inner tubes, which are thin but wide enough for adult shoes, and are available at no charge from most shops, thin natural rubber (available in my store), or an additional piece of leather can be used as soling. Soling – A bottom sole is not necessary, but of course having an additional layer of protection under foot will result in a longer-lasting shoe. Leather or felt – These can be made from thrift store goods, 3-4 ounce/square foot purchased leather, 2 mm commercial wool felt, felted wool coats or blankets, or hand-made felt. They might need to be lined with the same or similar leather. And, they will be locally made, with your good energy. This shoe is totally ecological if you make it from leather items from thrift stores, and if you use non-toxic cements. Please see my video for making custom side-seam moccasins at:
Compare it to “minimalist” shoes that are advertised as being great to have on cruises when you want to change out of your painful stilettos – and they cost $175.00 – these could be made for free! When you add a street-sturdy sole to it, you have a “moccashoe” that’s wearable as you go out the door. These would make great “earthing” shoes if you add a leather sole – or none.Įven though this is a moccasin design, it’s not just for wearing to shuffle around the house. You’re done! A lace or a leather thong around the topline can gather the moccashoe close to your foot. Stitch a bottom sole on, stitch the body of the moccasin to the flap, and stitch the heel. * Style C - Lace up front, Alternative system of sewing together provides an edge to thread lacing through while keeping the fringe.This might be the easiest way ever to make a great-looking shoe! This “moccashoe” is composed of one piece, with a flap that folds over the foot. * Style B - Pattern is cut very short to make an ankle high version. Front is a flat panel, allows for addition of fur, beadwork or whatever! Can have a third bank down outer side seam. * Style A - Basic style (dome top on front panel has been added extra) fringe down both sides of front. Can work for any re-enactment, just alter the decorations. Attractive addition to buckskin dress, western or street wear. The looser chimney is comfortable alone or over jeans. Has the more durable outset or "cup" sole. Slip on style with a top drawstring or can be laced up the front.
