Leather slippers sewing pattern – find the right size 📏

Before cutting the leather, check which shoe size fits. Place the foot on the pattern for the sole. Make sure to leave about 1 cm of space at the front. Also check the pattern for the upper part, as some feet have a high or low instep. Every foot is different – so adjust the pattern individually.

Sewing leather slippers – cutting and preparation 🧵

Cut out all pieces individually and pay attention to mirrored cuts. To do this, place the second pattern piece on the leather with the other side of the paper facing up. Leather is a natural product and may have irregularities. Therefore, choose uniform pieces of leather. A silver gel pen is suitable for marking, which can be removed with a damp cloth.
