Make your own shoes! Everything you need to make a pair of espadrille shoes is available in these beautifully curated packages. All you need is a sewing machine and a few hours with a kit and you can tromp through the streets in handmade shoes. Amazing! Who knew it was so easy to become a shoe-maker?
Pick up one of the Starter Kits in fabric of your choice to have everything delivered to your door. Choose from the selection of lush fabrics of choose an I GOT IT kit if you already have a healthy stash! Note: shoes require canvas or cotton-linen fabric (~1/3 yard) and the same amount of a cotton lining fabric.
How it works:
1. Choose a Starter Kit (with fabric) or an I Got It kit (without fabric)
2. If you pick a Starter Kit, decide on your fabric option. Just choose what grabs you...they all make beautiful shoes. Leave me a note if you want to switch out the lining fabric (options are Twig, Ocean or Midnight)
3. Pick the size of shoe sole. Please view the size chart in the listing for assistance picking the correct size. It's best to measure your foot from heel to toe (stand on a ruler!) and compare those measurements to the size chart. My instruction booklet also comes with helpful tips for getting a good fit.
4. Prepare to dazzle yourself!
If you have already made a pair of shoes and would like to make a second pair but don't need ALL the accessories, pick up a RENEWAL KIT and I will send just what you need.
Please feel free to convo me with any additional questions. I can't wait to get your walking around in your handmade shoes.
Note: Making espadrilles DOES require a sewing machine and standard sewing supplies. All of the other specialty supplies arrive in your beautiful kit. These listings are for the sale of espadrille shoe-making kits NOT already constructed shoes.
++++ International customers, please note, buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.
I highly recommend Priority shipping to ensure a door to door tracking service. I recognize it can be an added expense. Many of my international customers are combining orders with friends in order to split the shipping cost. Please reach out with any questions.

Thank you.

5 out of 5 starsInstructions were VERY easy to follow and there were enough core supplies, that with some Tetris-ing I was able to cut a second pair out (just need to get soles)! - Entire kit was beautifully packaged and arrived quickly, too! Will absolutely be buying again. They’re super cute, comfy, and have gotten a lot of compliments. A co-worker even went and got her own kit immediately! - A note on modifications: I fit a size 39 length wise th have skinny feet with high arches. I used the “too small” modification instructions to make sure I had enough room for the heel to be able to go up since the topper doesn’t have a lot of give. Considering an elastic triangle gusset on the upper to accommodate the high arches without making them too baggy.

5 out of 5 starsItem exactly as described and pictured, nice quality fabrics, notions, soles. The shoes are easy to make, the fit is as expected. I wish the style had more arch support, but that is just the style, not a defect in any way.

Beautifully packaged and sent with love. I handmake lots of what comes in these packages out of scrap canvas pieces. -
No need to source lots of random supplies! It's all here. -
Lovingly stitching the shoes to the sole. It looks so impressive but it's not hard! -
