Quilted Shoes!

I'm very excited to share this project with you.  I have wanting to make quilted shoes since I first saw them on Instagram in the spring.  My friend Wendy who own Fabriculous in Brandon, MB brought in the Sneaker Kits to make the shoes and even spent the time to adapt the leather shoe pattern to work for quilted fabrics!  She is awesome!   The kits for the soles are available on her website, link here! Pick your size and your sole colour and voila you are on your way to making your own Quilted Sneakers!  

For mine I picked the white souls and used this fun 'Squirrelled Away' fabric by Cass Connolly for Lewis & Irene Fabrics. I quilted them with Soft and Stable with a small cross hatch.  I added my cork label with my logo on the heel.  I made sure I had a squirrel on each toe and on the sides of the shoes.

I made these when I was at a retreat in Strathclair, MB with my friend Lori, who made a pair as well.  She made hers with the Make fabric by Quiet Play.  

Once we were done making our shoes we did a photo shot of our accomplishment!

There is the retreat center we were at, it is owned by Pauline of Mama Bears Quilt Shoppe in Brandon, MB.  She is a lovely host and cooked all the meals for us so we just got to sew!

Bet you didn't know you needed to make these!  You're welcome! :)

Here is the link again to the kits.
