Tools and Equipment

To make these palm slippers, I used the following tools, as stated below:   Suede leather

  • Black leather
  • Nora outsoles
  • Maco insole
  • Oci gum
  • Scissors
  • Shoe wet
  • Sewing machine

Making Process
  • First thing first was to cut a paper pattern of the foot of the palm slippers, after which I used it to draw out a pattern on the leather materials. IMG_20231002_145015_973.jpg

  • After drawing the pattern on the nora and maco, I cut out the shape with the scissors.

  • Here I applied some gum on a plain leather lining that'll be used to cover the maco(insole), to make it neat, after which I planed the earlier cut foot shape maco on and wrap around both.
