Needlework: Recycling An Old Jean Trouser Into A New Pair Of Shoe.

I started this quite late and so I couldn't finish the before the night draw nigh.
But I will show you a few step I took while making this pair of shoes.
I thought of a better idea and it got me to this.
I am using it as my entry for today's @needleworkmonday
And of course everything here was made with an hand needle. God! It was damn stressful😔

Materials Used

• An old jean trouser
• A pair of shoe pad
• Scissor
• Razor
• Needle
• Thread
• Shoe needle
• Fancy stone
• Chalk
  

How did I get this done or perhaps how did I start it.
Below are few shot from the process and a bit of an explanation.

Process and Procedures

• First, all i had to do was take out my old Jean trouser and cut out its legs and discard the body. All I needed for making the shoes was the trouser's legs, that alone as enough.
  

• After getting my Jean material, I cut it out into a flat layer, I did this with the help of a scissor.

• Then I measured out the shoe on the jean material using the shoe pad or shoe sample

• When I got the shape and size of the shoe I was about making, I cut out the jean material to the exact size of the shoe I measured and needed.

• Then I started sewing. I attached the jean material unto the shoe pad and sown. I used white thread to sew.
  

• After I was done with the sewing which took a greater part of my time; due to how tedious the work was. I cut out the remaining rope or thread from my sewing process.
  

• Then I washed the shoe and added colour; blue. This was to give the jean material a better look
  Being that the jean trouser was an old and worn out one so the colour had faded. So I brighten the colour again by adding the blue colour to it while washing in water.

• And finally, I attached my fancy Pearl Stone to the shoe to give it a better and amazing look.

This was really tedious, stressful and time consuming. I bet you wouldn't dare try it alone.
But I had to do what I had to do.

I recycled an old Jean trouser into a new pair of shoe.
