How to make children's handmade cloth shoes?

Making children's handmade cloth shoes is a very interesting process, because children are more comfortable to wear these shoes, and many mothers want to make several pairs for their babies. Let me tell you something about the making process of children's handmade cloth shoes:

I. Tools and materials

1. Tools: scissors, awl, 1# hand sewing needle, thimble, needle-nosed pliers (used for punching lace-up shoes) sewing machine (vamp edging, which can be done manually without it).

2. Materials:

A. Use a variety of cotton fabrics (old and new, with unlimited colors) to process the cloth shell of the sole (also known as shoes).

B. Shoe cloth (corduroy, corduroy, canvas, twill, etc. ) and the lining of shoes are also required to be all cotton, because only cotton cloth can bond well with the paste, and cotton cloth has the best air permeability, so as to ensure that the baby can't sweat on his feet.

C. cotton rope for the bottom. I used to rub hemp rope with ramie, but now I can't buy ramie, so I use cotton rope instead. I mostly rub the rope by myself with the workers' gauze gloves. ) I also ask for cotton rope. If it's a chemical fiber rope, it won't be pulled very tightly.

D. Hooks and loops (for hiking shoes), air holes and shoelaces (for lace-up shoes).

2. Production of cloth shell (fabric):

Cook the paste with flour and melt the cotton cloth with the paste. Specifically, it is to brush the paste on the board and then stick the cloth layer by layer. Pay attention to the fact that there should be no seams or too much overlap between fabrics. In short, it should be flat.

The cloth shell used to make the sole is not limited to the color of the cloth, but depends on the individual. Generally, 4-5 layers of cloth are pasted and dried.

My personal experience is that cooking paste with rice flour or corn flour is better than using flour, because their adhesion is not as strong as that of flour, and it is a little thinner. This kind of cloth shell is not particularly hard, so it will be less labor-saving to close the sole without needles.

The cloth shell used to make the vamp requires better and larger cloth, and the new cloth with less thickness is the best, and it can be dried by sticking 2 layers. You can also use a thick layer of denim to brush and dry instead. But the paste of the cloth shell used as the upper is drier.

Three. Sole production:

1, cut several cloth shells according to the pattern of the sole, and the thickness is determined by yourself. But the feet of a pair of shoes should be the same thickness.

2. Wrap the cut cloth shell with diagonal cloth strips, which can be one cloth shell or two or three cloth shells wrapped together, depending on the individual.

3. Fix several other cloth shells (with their own thickness) together with thick wrapped cloth shells, paste them with strong new white cloth, cut off the edges with 1.5 cm, brush them with paste, plug the wrapped cloth shells into the gaps, and plug the cloth edges tightly with an awl to make them smooth. So the embryo of the sole is completed.

4. Start to close the sole (if the sole is too thick, it is difficult to use the needle directly. You can drill with an awl first, and then take the rope. Wrap the edges with cotton rope first, and then collect them in rows. Pay attention to the wrong needles in each row.

5. After receiving it, hit the bottom with a hammer to smooth the sole.

6. Sewing the lining of the sole. It can be two layers of cloth roughly stepped on by sewing machine (I usually use a layer of denim), and then the big stitches are fixed on the ugly side of the sole. The beautiful side is external, stepping directly on the ground.

7. If you are making baby shoes with soft soles, you don't need to close the soles, just step on the soles with several layers of cloth sewing machines.

4. Upper manufacturing:

1. First, cut the vamp on the thin cloth shell, and cook the dry paste shoe upper cloth and shoe lining cloth with flour, dry them or iron them.

2. Close the heel, hammer the seam flat, and wrap the seam with the same color lining; Square hiking shoes and T-shoes should be connected first.

3. Roll the edge of the shoe, use twill cloth, and the color is random.

4. Set the hook and loop before hiking shoes, and blow holes before tying shoelaces.

5. Sew the front and back pieces of the vamp together (this step is not needed for square hiking shoes).

6. Wrap the raw edge at the other end of the vamp (the fixing place with the sole), and generally wrap it with white cloth.

5. Wear shoes: first fix the front and rear points to see if there is any skew, or you can fix another point at the waist of the left shoe.

Shoes are put on from the corresponding place on the right side of the waist, and the needling method is aimed at the needle back, which is safer for novices. If the upper is slightly larger, try to push it forward. The vamp between two fixed points should be completed within the distance of the fixed points, and the extra vamp should not be pushed over the fixed points. If you push it, the shoes will be crooked. If you push the upper on the right forward, when you fix the upper on the left, you need to pull the upper slightly in advance so that the shoes can be straightened.

However, the way to wear shoes means that you need to wear more shoes. At the beginning, you often have to tear it down and redo it, so you can understand it yourself.

6. Xuan shoes: After shoes are put on, they are flat and tasteless. You should use Xuan shoes. In the past, Xuan Shoes had special wooden shoes, but now they are gone, so they are replaced by rags.

Methods: Spray some water on the vamp to make it slightly wet, and then put the rag into the shoe. Pay attention to the toe cap must be stuck, plugged and stretched into a circle until the whole shoe is plugged and the shoe shape looks good, then dry it and take out the cloth. You're done!

I hope my answer can be your classic answer, thank you!
