How to sew boots at home with their own hands?

It seems to be in the modern age of advanced technologyThe problem, how to sew boots, should not stand in front of a person. After all, if suddenly leak out those - the consumer can always go to the store and buy new ones, because the store shelves are bursting with an overabundance of consumer goods. But no!

Trendy boots on Tanya's legs

The fashion was not ordinary, but exclusive feltedsapozhki: multi-colored, embroidered with beads and rhinestones, with sewn appliqués, lace trimmed with fur. Such felt boots on the legs should be put under the very queen! Only so sorry for such masterpieces of manual work to spoil the buses and wet running boards of trams. Yes, and go to the store sometimes it is required - and on the dirty floor you have to walk in amazing boots ...

Here comes to mind the thought: and not to make valenochka soles in advance, immediately after purchase or manufacture, if the boots were made at home with their own hands? Of course, this is a great way out! Unfortunately, few people know how to sew boots, unfortunately.

Tools and materials for work

Sole

Of course, a very important point is the material,from which the sole will be made. You can use the bootlegs of old boots, cutting out the outline of your foot with a sharp shoe knife. It is important to remember only that the felt sole should be 1-2 cm larger than the foot of the person who will then wear felted boots. You can cut out the sole of dermatitis, leatherette or rubber.

And some prefer to use ready-made rubber soles for filing, which are also bought at specialized outlets.

Thread for filing boots

The second important point is the preparation of threadsfor filing. Today you can buy special materials for shoemaking repairs. But in the absence of those, it is really possible to make the threads themselves, having twisted them from several harsh or silk threads and waxing them. For waxing, a paraffin candle, wax or soap is used. The thread is dragged through wax, soap or paraffin, holding the latter in one hand, and the tangle in the other. The thread that is threaded cuts into the edge of soap or paraffin, stretches along the formed groove and, as a result, is covered with a protective layer, which also helps it to glide well during operation.

Sometimes for filing felt boots use a thick fishing line. It should be remembered that to work the master you need two coils of thread.

Tools for sewing

Since you can not sew boots without that,so as not to stretch the thread through two layers of material, the master will need an awl to make holes. And you need a special shoe hook. It is very similar to the knitting, only made of high-strength steel and sharply sharpened. Well, you need a sharp shoe knife, which can be replaced with a scalpel or a sharp, dangerous razor.

Hand Protection - Safety

Fingers should be wrapped with adhesive plaster to insure them from cuts and callouses.

Getting Started - Preparation

Since it is correct to sew boots - it's not at all tricky, you can try to do it yourself. If everything necessary for the work is prepared, then you can start working.

In the left (not leading) hand one of the tangles is takenwaxed thread. Hand with a ball is placed inside the felt boots. In the right hand shoemaking, the master takes the hook. If necessary, you first need to pierce both stitched layers with an awl and then continue with the crochet.

The sole to the felt boots is first to "sweep": make a piercing crochet in the front of the felt - the lower part of it is meant, which will be in contact with the floor and the ground. The end of the thread is stretched by the crochet from the tangle, which is inside, outward. Then a loop is also pulled out next to it, it is cut. Two tips are tightly connected.

Then, according to the same algorithm, the back part of the sole is "tackled". Then it is recommended to make a transverse shoe seam from the rear attachment point to the front.

Description of the shoe seam

The sole itself can be sewn in two ways: through at the edge, when one tangle is inside the valenka, and outer at the edge, when the punctures are not made inside the boot, but outward sideways. Then the hand with the ball does not make sense to put inside the shoe.

As mentioned above, to sew a felt bootswith your own hands, the master will need two coils of thread. In the process of work it is located from different sides of the seam. And now let's go directly to the process of reviewing how to sew boots.

The instruction for laying the seam is very similarsewing sewing machines. The master pierces the article with a crochet, grabs the thread from the first tangle, pulls the end outward and ties the tip of the thread from the second tangle to it.

Then, at a distance of a centimeter, the secondthe crochet is pierced, the first thread is again captured, but it is stretched already by a noose. In the loop, a ball is pierced with a second, outer thread. With the force is produced by the tightening of the seam - that's when the fingers not wound in advance with an adhesive plaster can suffer!

Restoration together with decorative finishing - two in one

By this algorithm, a seam is madepre-marked with chalk, dry soap or pencil, the handle of the path. At the very end of the seam one of the threads is cut off (if the seam was inside the felt, then this will be the inner thread), and the ends are tightly connected.

In the same way you can sew the backs or sewSocks valenok skin, impose patches or decorative appliques. But if the felt boots are already sewn with holes already formed and rubbed in the form of pits, then before putting patches or sewing soles into pits (or holes), it is necessary to put a piece of cotton wool or sintepon tightly.

And you can "hide" the defects of shoes for fur trim, embroidery, lace or rhinestones. In this way, you will be able to add charm to boots and make a qualitative restoration of the product.
