Steps
1. Cut the fabric according to the paper pattern, I use the same fabric for the table here, 4 pieces for the upper, 4 pieces for the upper, 4 pieces for the sole, and 4 pieces for the bottom of the shoe, the bottom of the shoe will be cut into a rectangle first and then trimmed later. In addition, I cut two 5cm x (9~12cm) strips of fabric for the laces.
2. Then cut the lining, the soles should be thicker, 2 pieces of fine auxiliary cotton for each one, cut into rectangles as usual; the uppers and vamps should be lined with 4 pieces of soft non-woven lining, or with auxiliary cotton if you want to wear them on a slightly colder day.
3. Iron a layer of non-woven lining on the back of each piece of fabric for the upper; for the sole, insert 20% of the auxiliary cotton into the 2 layers of fabric, iron them together with double-sided adhesive, and then use the sole paper pattern to draw an outline on it and cut it out; if you don't use the double-sided adhesive and don't have any adhesive auxiliary cotton, you can first sew along the inner side of the outline and then cut it out.
4. Crimp the soles of both shoes in a circle from the outside to the inside.
5. The two fabric strips to make shoelaces, as shown in the figure below, both sides folded to the center and then folded into 4 layers, and then one of the end of the end of the folding ironing, and finally along the edge of the pressure on the circle line →
6. Fix the laces on the upper (the position is marked on the paper pattern), and on the other side fix a loop made of rubber cord, if you do not use buttons instead of snap buttons, you do not need to install this loop. Note that the laces are symmetrical on both uppers →
7. Align the upper and vamp with the front side of the fabric and sew the edges of the mouth of the shoe, cut some teeth on the sewn portion after sewing, and then turn it over to the front side and iron the edges flat.
8. Attach zigzag lace to the edges and sew them together, this lace adapts well to the curvature, if no lace is used press at least one line in the corresponding position →
A little secret → the front of the upper should have a certain eating potential, that is, it should be allowed to shrink slightly, if not the front of the shoe will be flat, the baby's feet can not reach the front, even if you can also be very crowded and uncomfortable.
Shrink together when the sewing machine's upper and lower thread adjusted to, a loose and a tight, in the middle of the front end of the car sewing a line, the thread left longer, after sewing the first end of the upper and lower two threads tied together, at the other end of the line will be drawn tight, and then the upper and lower threads of this end is also tied. The shrinkage should also be moderate, so that there is no visible crease after sewing.
9. Assembling~ First, sew the upper to the sole, paying attention to the lace side of the upper against the inside of the sole. In order to adapt the upper to the curvature of the heel of the sole, first cut a few teeth about 0.5 cm deep on the bottom edge of the upper, then align the midpoint of the upper and the midpoint of the heel of the sole and fix it with a bead needle, then gradually fix it from the center to the sides, and then finally sew it together→.
10. and then assemble the upper, the same is the first center after the two sides of the first fixed and then sewing →
11. Finally, it is the edge of the shoe piping, piping strip should be cut diagonally, width of about 3 centimeters, piping method will not be repeated here, you can refer to the basic teaching in the relevant tutorials.
