  Step 1

  Gather your materials. I bought my shoes from a high street shop for £10 and the fabric was from my scrap bag.
  Remove the laces from the shoes before you begin.

  Step 2

  Using tracing paper (or baking parchment) trace the area of your shoe you want to patch to create a template.
  Even matching shoes can be slightly different shapes so trace a template for each shoe.

• 

  Step 3

  Pin your template to your chosen fabric and draw around it with an extra half centimetre hem allowance all the way round. Cut out.

• 

  Step 4

  Pin your fabric to your shoe. Fold over the edges and stitch in place all around the patch. I used a back stitch to mimic the stitching on the shoe but a running stitch would work as well.
  You may need to trim the fabric at the corners to reduce bulk.

  Step 5

  And your shoes are done! Why not do a quick zig zag stitch on the shoelaces in colours to match your fabric or replace the laces with some ribbon.
