Mablung Report post Posted July 29 I made my toddler nephew a pair of moccasins for his birthday. Apologies for the lousy photo—I forgot to take some better ones of the finished pair. Frankly, I’m really proud of how they turned out; moccasin pattern-making has finally clicked with me, through going back through the fundamentals to make these. And even better, my nephew loves them. Even got a chance to give him a short primer on leatherwork while putting an extra couple stitches in the sides to tighten up the mid foot this afternoon. These are 3/4 ounce bison chrome/veg re-tan. Great leather that I really enjoy working with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aven Report post Posted July 31 Cool beans. Those are going to be his favorite shoes from now on. Well done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyV Report post Posted July 31 Good job! Now you have to make a pair every year because kids have a nasty habit of growing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mablung Report post Posted July 31 Thanks, all! @Aventurine and @Aven, he really liked them, and so did his mom (my sister). I look forward to seeing them get scuffed, dirty, and well-used. Thanks, @TonyV. I look forward to making many more for him! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
