Making a new pair of shoes out of battered old ones.
How I turned my skanky favourite shoes into cool new(ish) ones :) It takes a while but it's worth it for cool comfy shoes for free.

You Will Need
-
Step 1First I cleaned my shoes a bit because they were pretty filthy. Then cut out the material to the vague shape of the side of the shoe, with a little bit of fabric to spare.
-
Step 2If you have any holes in your shoes, fix them with tape.
-
Step 3Then glue and/or pin the fabric to the side of the shoe. Cut off the excess fabric to the shape you want to cover. If the fabric frays a lot, brush a bit of pva glue over the edges.
-
Step 4Start sewing all the way round the edge of the fabric. Then repeat the whole process for the other 3 sides of your shoes.
-
Step 5Pin then sew fabric onto the tongue of the shoe. It's quite fiddly at the bottom, but any gaps won't show much when the shoes are on.
-
Step 6Add shoelaces and whatever pretty things you want... and you have a lovely new old pair of shoes! :)
