pattern piece facing up. Mark dots and placement lines on RS of outer fabric with removable fabric marker. Unpin patterns
and flip toe pattern over so it is facing down. Pin, cut, and mark another set of each. Use a piece of masking tape to mark toes
as LEFT and RIGHT.

of heel. Tuck cut edge of band between heel and band.
Topstitch edges of band to heel. Then topstitch
completely around toe and heel, ¼” from edge, crossing
the band to secure.

STITCHING TO SOLE
NOTE: Stitching instructions are written and illustrated
for a right handed sewer. For left hand stitching, hold
shoe in right hand and stitch around shoe sections in
the opposite direction while holding yarn to the right of
each stitch.
1. Cut yarn to a length required by chosen view. Pull
through yarn wax several times. (TIP: Press waxed yarn
to help make it even smoother.) Thread needle and knot
one end. Trim excess yarn close to knot.
2. Start each section with a double Whipstitch at heel or
toe corner. View A: Start stitching at the open toe
corner. (For View A no added whipstitch is needed at
joined sections.) Views B and C: Start stitching at a
corner of any shoe section. To start, insert needle into
jute ¼” down from edge of sole, and then up through
fabric about ¼” from edge. (Use topstitching as a guide
while stitching shoe pieces.) Pull yarn sharply to snug
knot into jute.

3. Make a whipstitch by inserting the needle back into the
jute below the knot and coming up at the first stitch.
4. Make a second whipstitch right next to the first one.

6. To finish off the yarn, take your last stitch in the corner
of the shoe section. Insert the needle down into the
fabric on the opposite side of the last stitch, coming out
below that stitch.
7. Make 1 whipstitch by inserting the needle back into the
fabric right next to that last stitch.
6
5. Continue with a Blanket Stitch. To do this: hold yarn to
left (away from the stitch) and in the direction of stitching. Move over ¼” and take a second stitch, coming up
within loop of yarn. Sharply pull yarn to secure the
stitch. Hold previous stitch in place with free hand,
while taking next stitch. This is a blanket stitch. Continue to pull yarn tightly while stitching around shoe
pieces. (TIP: To help avoid tangles allow yarn and
needle to dangle after every few stitches.)
