I Sewed My Own Shoes
I did it.
I finally broke down and purchased an Espadrille kit and made my own SHOES!
Hi - I'm Megan Avery of Hipstitch Academy & I made a video breaking down the steps of actually sewing the espadrilles.
Here is what I used:
The kit is from A Happy Stitch

And here is where you can buy the actual kit on Etsy:

And it comes with EVERYTHING you need to make your own Espadrilles, including:
+ Canvas Les Fleurs Rifle Paper Co. fabric
+ organic cotton lining fabric
+ shoe soles
+ medium weight interfacing
+ specific espadrille needles
+ espadrille thread
+ espadrille wax
+ needle pullers
+ my instruction booklet
+ shoe pattern
