[OhSewPrettyLeather]

I'm a super beginner but my sister and I are determined to jump into this since we love flip flops lol! Thank you for the tutorial!

Very cool, I like the shield shape on the black and brown ones.

The toe stem is just glued on the second pair. I wanted a cleaner look in front. I hope it holds.

@ The Don -- Yeah you're probably ok. That's how most are made.

[The Don]

@ The Don -- Man those look great. On the first pair, how did you inlay that upper layer? Looks sharp. And on the second pair, how did you secure the toe stem? It really likes nice without a visible sew line. Impressive, all the way around.

The first pair upper layer is a really thin layer of leather contact cemented to some 6/7 oz. I didn't stitch that.

Great tutorial, thought I would give it a try. First attempt isn't to bad. Kept it simple for the first go around, plenty of room for improvement.

@Wraith -- Those look great. I like how you brought the straps in the sides. The cork looks cool too.

[Wraith]

Thank you. I had several cork tiles laying around so I thought it might make for a cushy sole.

Does anyone have a good source for sole rubber?
