Vivat, espadrilles!

Send

Lightweight, comfortable, trendy and for every taste! If your summer arsenal still does not have them, then they certainly need to ... sew with your own hands!

Espadrilles - cloth slippers on a rope sole - shoes of Spanish peasants and miners of the South of France. They usually sew quietly only from natural materials, and they wear them on their bare feet. They were brought into fashion by Salvador Dali, who wore them with ties (according to tradition). Espadrilles rose to the peak of fashion in the 80s of the twentieth century. Since then, they are usually used for beach holidays.

Introducing models with a pattern from the magazine "Sewing is easy and fast" 01/2014.

Extra tip
If you want to upgrade your old espadrilles, simply tear off the fabric parts from them and use them as a pattern for new parts.
How to take measurements - read and see at the end of the article.
SO THE CREATION IS CREATED

On the contour of the sole, mark the middle of the toe and heel. To build a drawing of the toe and back of the espadrilles, use your individual measurements M1, M2 and M3 (pink lines in the drawing).
Black lines are fixed measurements (6 cm on the left, 3.5 cm on the right).
Orange lines indicate allowances for seams 1 cm wide.
Blue lines are hand-drawn fillets.
To check if the pattern fits the finished sole, measure the perimeter of the sole. Then add the length of the blue line of the toe (without allowances) to the double length of the blue line of the back (without allowances). If the resulting value differs from the perimeter of the sole by more than 1 cm to the greater or lesser side, then the blue line of the toe fillet should be made, respectively, more gentle or rounded even more.
In the sewing instructions (see below) you will find a description of the sewing of each model.

2. Stitch back to toe:
Pin open short sections of the back to a direct cut of one part of the toe, open longitudinal sections lie on a rounded section of the toe (Fig. 2). Place the second part of the sock over the back with the front side to the front side, chop open and cut open sections of the parts of the sock (Fig. 3). Cut the seam allowances close to the stitch. To turn out a sock, to iron. Chop open sections. Sew the second espadrilles in the same way. Paste silver leather braid on both socks, stitch the edges to the edge.

3. Stitch back with toe to fabric sole:
Pin the back with the toe to the cut of the fabric sole (to the front side) and grind it to the allowance width of 5 mm (Fig. 4). Turn the slice over with an oblique collar. To do this, fold the slanting collar along in half, iron. To put a slanting inlay on allowances of a seam of ground-in soles (Fig. 5).

And so take measurements

STEP 1 Measure the distance from the tip of the thumb to the place where the toe of the shoe should end, stick a pin (M1).

STEP 2 Measure the distance from the floor to the floor across the foot by passing a tape measure through the pin-tag (M2).

STEP 3 Measure the distance from the pin tag to it through the heel (M3).

STEP 4 Place the finished sole (Prym) on a piece of paper and circle the contours.
