Instructions

  1. Small 2013 04 15 13 03 36 634

    Gather your supplies! (wow you can really see how worn my shoes are..)

  2. Small 2013 04 15 13 07 44 476

    remove any thing you dont want covered up from your shoes,ie buckles bows etc.

  3. Small 2013 04 15 13 47 12 956

    place the fabric over top of the shoe and pin it all around the hole where you put your foot in and along the bottom where the original fabric meets the sole. after its pinned,cut a hole down in the fabric where you would put your foot in.

  4. Small 2013 04 15 14 52 45 890

    rough add any embellishments, adjust as needed.

  5. Small 2013 04 15 14 03 51 120

    take a look, are you pleased? if not, do number 4 again until its how u like!

  6. Small 2013 04 15 15 29 30 770

    sew your fabric in place,starting at the top.this way when you stitch the bottom you can pull it down and tight. i like to use what i call a loopy stitch im hoping this picture kinda shows you what i mean.. (if you know what this stitch is actually called please let me know in the comments lol) try to sew it as close to the inside of the shoe as possible, this way if you mess up, you dont see it as much if at all

    sew the fabric to the bottom of the shoe, pulling it nice and tight as you go to reduce wrinkling. sew it as close to sole as possible. then cut all the loose extra fabric off.

    Take a look at that! (like i said, i wore these for 9 months straight lol, the inside is worn to heck!i'll be gettin some dr scholls for these!)
