How to Make Sheepskin Slippers with DIY Leathercraft Patterns.

[@amypayjack6481]

This is the best tutorial ive ever watched. So many videos skip small steps that beginners wouldn't know. Thank you

[@TonyAllenBernier]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Excellent tutorial, and your pattern looks fantastic! If you wanted to add a rubber sole, would you just glue it on or glue and sew? I'm trying to DIY some sheepskin ugg type boots so they would need a sole.

[@TonyAllenBernier]

Thank you! I would glue and sew if possible. Depending on the sole you could sew the upper into it and just slide the bottom part in to allow easy replacement down the road.

[@mikelitherland1154]

can i add a extra piece of leather to the bottom of the slipper so it would have more durability?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

Yes, absolutely.

Hi, where would you recommend buying the punches from?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

That's a question that would be better answered by someone else actually. Maybe try Facebook groups. I got mine from Tandy and Weaver years ago. But those real small ones I use for this kind of stuff I just get the cheap Amazon ones and tap them in the hole punch wax I make to keep them going.

@@TonyAllenBernier you could try a Japanese screw punch. They have interchangeable heads including 1mm and 2mm and are very easy to use without hammering.

Seems ljke the sole would wear through quick. Is there a way to make the sole more durable and grippy? Dip in rubber? Attach to a rubber or foam sole?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

If you walk around outside, yes. They do great in the house. There are slipper grips you can buy that stick on. I haven't tried those, but if I did do something I would probably go with more of a permanent sole.

You could glue a top grain latigo sole using contact cement, then do a whip stich to secure. I do this a lot on my moccasins I make for early American fur trade.

I have a pair similar to these I bought maybe 10 years ago. The sole was suede when I bought them. Now they are just a smooth leather. If you only wear them inside they'll be fine without an additional sole 😊

May I ask what type and gauge of thread to use to sew the parts for this project?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

I believe I was using a 138 or 207.

Does the pattern include how to adjust the print for different sizes?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

Hi, No need to adjust the pattern. I included a bunch of sizes. Just print the pages is says to print on page one for whatever size you need. www.tonyallenbernier.com

How do I buy patterns if I am from Russia and cannot purchase on Esty? Is there any other way?
