Has anyone tried making shoes? I really like the soft leather shoes for kids, and searched for patterns. Martha Stewart had a pattern for felt shoes that could be adapted. There were many patterns for mocassins. Then I saw an ad for hemp shoes in Veg. Times mag... Anyone ever? :-)

I've made moccasins, but not shoes. I would think it would be similar. :shrug I expect starting out with something like sandals would be cool.

Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman(sp?) has directions on how to make sandels out of an old tire. I have some old canvas...I think I'll try making some out of that...I also have an old pair of flip-flops that I'm thinking about ripping apart to get the sole...hmmm... :think I'll let y'all know how they turn out :-)

do a Google for Robeez. I bet somebody really crafty could make those.

In Decembers Martha Stewart there were patterns for wool slippers you could probably use for shoes. :shrug
