Members Phil2011 Posted May 22, 2013 Members Report Posted May 22, 2013 Hello, there! Here is another pair of moccasins I made for my gf, 8 or 9 years ago: The construction is one-piece construction (side-seam). I used a thick but extremely soft leather. There is a removable leather insole. The size is 5US wmn (36EUR). My gf enjoyed to wear them at office! she had many comments and then I made two pairs (without beading) for her coworkers! Quote
Members Blazin Posted May 25, 2013 Members Report Posted May 25, 2013 Those look very comfortable! Quote
Members Phil2011 Posted May 25, 2013 Author Members Report Posted May 25, 2013 Hi, Blazin! Yes,they are! Thanks to this wonderful leather, full grain, quite thick but as soft as deerskin!.. Quote
Members Phil2011 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Members Report Posted May 26, 2013 Thank you Renee! Quote
Members r lenna Posted June 3, 2013 Members Report Posted June 3, 2013 That's very nice work. Your beading is first rate also. Love them. Quote
Members Phil2011 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 3, 2013 Thank you r lenna! I've stitched with two needles and linen thread. Beadwork on the foot is made on a thin turquoise leather. Beadwork around the ankle is made on a loom then glued and stitched on leather. At least, beadwork on front part of the moccasins is lazy-squaw stitching. Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted July 8, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted July 8, 2013 Well done, someday I will get around to trying a pair with the deerskin I have had on a back shelf for years. Quote
Members Phil2011 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Members Report Posted July 9, 2013 Thank you, Jordan! Such mocs made of deerskin will be great! Will you make beadwork, too? Please post some pics of these mocs when they'll be made! Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted July 19, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted July 19, 2013 Hah, it will be awhile, my leather room is storage right now, until I get finished building a master bath! And I will need to learn how to bead as I do not see any in the stores I shop, but when I do I will certainly post pics. Quote
