Making Moccasins

How to video on how I make moccasins

[@hhhhhhhhh61]

Thank you so much for sharing your gift. You are an excellent teacher your voice is very calm and steady. I could and probably will watch you all day! I'm from Lax Kw'alaams in BC Canada. I have been wanting to try my hand at making moccasins for decades and have finally found the supplies needed. Your clear instructions are making me feel more confident. Beautiful work on the mocs as well! Thank you 😊💓

[@muahshell]

These are absolutely beautiful!

Michelle Sanborn thank you

[@Chipper.white50]

Now ok, where the toes are am I supposed to leave at least 1/4 space

[@russellwhite8890]

Do u make moccasins for the public?

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

Yes I do

[@MultiCaro2011]

Where can I order the kit or pattern? These are so adorable!🤩

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

The video shows you how to make your own pattern

[@debraaguayo3826]

Thank you for your wonderful Tutorial I have a question? I can’t get the back of the heal to come together when I sew it from the bottom of the heal to the top

[@stephenbamford]

Truly masterfully done. Excellent videography and instruction. Thanks for sharing.

[@nofindausername]

Very good video. Straight to the point. The thing I do different is I use split down artificial sinew. I have never worked with German tan hide but after seeing your beautiful moccasins I think I will try it.

Miigwetch thank you 🙏 so much for taking the time to record these tutorials and sharing them! 😊 I’m a big fan and longtime Canadian follower. Do you have any beaded bandolier tutorials?? ❤ 🪶

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

@@Crazy_Christine84 I guess I have never done a bandolier before. I’m not sure if what it is.

[@casinogirllmc]

Love them. Learned something new watching this. Thanks for sharing :)

How beautiful! You covered a lot of details that it had not heard before. Thank you!

Aura Wright you are welcome

[@hannahsutherland8170]

You make your slippers different from the way I make mine. They're beautiful. I'm swamp cree from Northern Ont. Canada. Where did you order your hide from. Canypu provide the link if possible. Thanking you in advance.

[@blkcat1254]

Hanna, try ebay,georges leather, wandering bull, crazy crow. There are more,i myself have even gone on the web and looked for other seller. Another one is the silver moccasin

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

Hi Hannah, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I am unable to respond to messages on my phone so I have to wait until I am near my computer. I get my hide from Crazy Crow Trading Post. My moccasins are the way my mother taught me as a child.

[@hannahsutherland8170]

@@QuinWhaPaCreations Thank you..I understand. I am a swamoy cree from Northern Ontario Canada and we are all taught different ways. I admire the different styles. Is Crazy crow in U.S or Canada?

@@hannahsutherland8170 Crazy Crow is in the US

Bravo...

[@christinehoglauer4580]

Wunderschön, wonderful vielen Dank, thank you very much,

[@pjfountaine7755]

Beautiful, butterfly design beadwork and nice end results. Thanks! That leather reminds me oc the chamois leather you can buy at Autozone or other auto supply. Soft and a bit more easy to work

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

It is soft. It’s German tanned buckskin. Thicker than the chamois.

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

You are welcome

[@phillipcase8096]

At 7:00, I noticed that your beadwork has material, like a cotton fabric, on the back. Did you glue that on there? What kind of fabric is it? What the purpose, does it strengthen the hide, to give the work body? I don't see it helping the beads or the thread, because they still show. Just curious 🧐

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

Cotton fabric applied with Heat n Bond. Provides stability and stiffness

[@wildcatyellowbird5975]

Good morning loved your video can I ask what did you use for backing for the beadwork?

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

I’m not sure what you mean. I did the beadwork in lazy stitch right onto the leather.

[@wildcatyellowbird5975]

@@QuinWhaPaCreations at 7 mins 13 secs I can see a backing just wondering what it was looks like cotton material or lining of some sort?

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

@@wildcatyellowbird5975 oh okay I put heat n bond on the moccasin top before beading. When I finished I ironed on a cotton liner. I hope that answers your question.

[@sleepcoffeerepeat4769]

Can I private message you for help, I am making moccasins for my 8 month old son! I’ve made a pair before

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

Of course you can. I am sorry for not responding I switched accounts for my granddaughter yesterday.

[@bobbiemitchell7243]

Do you sell them

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

I sell them when I make them. I don’t have any made at this time.

I missed what kind of Buckskin you are using. It looks soft and comfortable.

[@kl-jn4kh]

Did you bead on pellon first and then attach it to the hide? Or did you bead directly onto the hide? Thank you

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

Directly onto the hide

[@randanewcomb8994]

Great

[@rholbrook8009]

Watched your video for the 7th time! I think I almost have a pattern. Just have a couple of questions. 1) after marking the 3" line across the arch, 2nd line goes straight down....I see you stopped about 1" shy of the end, is there a reason? 2) cutting the tounge...logic says 3" wide, but how long and do you round one end, cut in a "V" shape or is it preference? Thank you

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

I went about 1/8 of an inch past my footprint. You can go all the way and cut off the access after you have sewn it to the heel. Cutting the tongue as in any part of it is preference.

[@rholbrook8009]

@@QuinWhaPaCreations Approximately how long should the tongue be? 3" Wide by ???? I don't want to cut it too short. I believe I may have an "real" pattern! I'm so excited, but I am quite anxious at the same time. I appreciate the time you took to make this video and share your knowledge. Miigwetch

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

R Holbrook the tongue should be your preference from arch to ankle. Maybe about 4 inches

[@erinlouisemanyheads]

Awesome video! Why do you use Nymo 0 thread? just curious

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

I use Nymo for all my work. Strong and I don’t need to wax it.

[@erinlouisemanyheads]

@@QuinWhaPaCreations oh okay’ what’s the difference between nymo 0 and nymo D thread ?

[@QuinWhaPaCreations]

OO is small and I use it for beading. Size D is thicker and I use for sewing
