Toddler Moccasins

[Mablung]

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.

What a great thing to do for the kid!

Cool beans.  Those are going to be his favorite shoes from now on.  Well done.

Good job!  Now you have to make a pair every year because kids have a nasty habit of growing.

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!
