SneakerKit Starter Kit - Sole, Needles, Thread, Pattern and Instructions - NO LEATHER
Details
Anyone who attended the Sneaker Kit course I ran a couple of years ago will agree how much fun they were. I have several sets of the basic kits available if anyone wants to give it a go at home. They are designed to be made by anyone at home. The kit contains:
White Sole, Needle, Thread, Pattern, Instructions and Link to website giving you the full step by step video to making your own sneakers/trainers.
While I cannot currently offer my stock of leather as a material option you can buy smaller pieces of leather on ebay and Amazon, aim for a thickness between 1.6 and 2 mm for a substantial show. You can make your sneakers in many other textile's choices If you are an experience sewer create the upper from any fabric, you can use a material that behaves like leather such as cork or thick felt that will not fray. These soles can also be used for making sandals, with detailed instructions and patterns available online. Have fun by adding sequins, beads, or glitter. However, please note that I only have 10 sets available and once they are sold, they will not be restocked. If your size is not showing, you can still purchase from the SneakerKit website at a higher cost and a slightly longer dispatch, but don't be put off, it is a great project to do.
Sizing: Shown is the EU size, the female size and the male size. They are half sizes, so if you take a size 7, opt for the 7.5. They are cleverly designed to suit all widths and very forgiving.
Here is the link to the Sneakerkit site where you will find the video and detailed instructions. These kits can be purchased at a much higher cost via this link, I am simply clearing my stock ready for my business closure. They will be sent next working day, so no waiting and no hefty postage fees from Europe. These are £47.00 online so grab yourself a bargain and no worries about customs or time for despatch from Europe, which was the main reason I had to stop offering this workshop. This is a rare offer.
