THE SANDALMAKING WORKSHOP

My how-to book, published in April 2021, is a complete introduction to making your own footwear at home.

Back when I was starting to make my own shoes, the only books I could find were from the 70’s and out of print. An update was long overdue— so I had to make one! In it, I focus on my first love: sandals. The book covers the basic steps of sandalmaking and my own simplified technique for shoemaking. It includes 14 step-by-step projects, each with traceable fold-out patterns. Also includes materials and sourcing notes to help you gather what you’ll need to start out. BTW, there is no need for specialized machinery!

Look for it at your local independent book retailer (for example Powells) or find it online at Bookshop.org, Amazon, or you can purchase it from me, here!

Thoughtfully published by Storey.
