What is more precious than a pair of baby shoes lovingly handmade by you? In this private hands-on 5 hour workshop, learn how to make an adorable pair of leather baby shoes from beginning to end!

To create your baby shoes, your experienced instructor will teach you traditional shoe making techniques. You will begin with a simple template for baby shoes of one of the following designs:

  • Mary Jane
  • Tie-up shoes
  • Baby sandals
  • Baby espadrilles

There is also a selection of materials for you to customize its look and feel.

Your instructor will then take you step by step through the process of piecing the shoes together. This includes shaping the shoe with pint-sized baby shoe lasts, cutting the patterns out of leather and attaching them to the sole. You’ll be delighted as you see the shoes coming together, piece by piece.

After the workshop, bring your shoes home and slip it onto your darling’s itty bitty feet right away! Celebrate the new addition to the family with this heartfelt, handmade gift.

Q: Can I source my own leather material to use to make the shoes?
A: We would prefer you to use the leather provided. We use soft leather as it is easier to work with for beginners and because it is very comfortable for baby feet. However, if you would still like the option, we can provide you with a leather supplier to purchase suitable materials from.

Q: Will I be able to finish making my shoes in the time provided?
A: The duration of this class is timed exactly to a normal working pace. However, we understand that students work at different paces. If you work at a slower pace, you can expect the class to over run by one to two hours. If you are keen to finish your shoes in class, we advise you to allow some buffer time for your next appointment after class.
