Create Unique Snazzy Sneakers Today - Show Them Off Tomorrow
Quilted Sneakers from the Sole Up
Make one-of-a-kind quilted sneakers. Impress your friends! Make unique gifts for holidays. If you can straight stitch and put on a binding, you’ve got this!
What’s Giving You Cold Feet?
- "Put yourself in their shoes": Nah, put yourself in your one-of-a-kind sneakers that you design yourself.
- "Big shoes to fill": Afraid it’s too complicated, it’s not. We will build on skills you already have – straight stitching and sewing on a binding. You’ve got this!
- "Shaking in my boots": Nothing to fear, I’ll guide you every step of the way.
- "Waiting for the other shoe to drop": Are you worried that your hands aren’t strong enough to sew through rubber? Sneaker kit soles have pre-punched holes; it’s not as hard as you might think.
- "On a shoestring budget": Designing your own bespoke sneakers is far cheaper than buying ones by famous designers that you will see coming and going.
- "If the shoe fits, wear it": Afraid they won’t be comfortable? These will hug your feet like a quilt wraps you in a hug. Your own orthotics or insoles will individualize the fit.
- "As comfortable as an old shoe": Once you’ve made one pair, you’ll want to make pair after pair.
