Thanks to a post I saw on the Upcyling Facebook page, I was inspired to make my own upcycled denim sandals. Especially after just having torn the straps of my go-to flip flops. I am by no means a teacher so please bare with me as I present to you my first tutorial... You Will Need: An article of denim clothing (I used pant legs) Denim pant hems (preferably that stretch) Old flip flops or sandals to use as outer bottom soles Some sort of permanent bonding glue such as E-6000 Scissors Forgot to picture but you'll also need: Straight Pins Pencil or Chalk Sewing machine with thread Ruler or measuring tape Scrap piece of cotton Let's Begin... First cut your pant hems into 4 pairs of straps. This is where it gets tricky. The measurements I came up with are those that fit my feet (I'm a US size 7 by the way), so obviously I think it'll be best to do some measuring of your own feet or use similar sandals you already own to find the most correct fit for the straps. That's why I recommend they be stretch denim, for that reason and also comfort. Cut the following straps: One pair at 3.5", these will be your toe rings. One pair at 5.5", one pair at 6" and the last pair at 8". Set those aside. Then you'll want to take a flip flop to use as the pattern mold. Set it on your denim material. Use your pencil or chalk to mark around the shoe adding about half an inch. Do both shoes and cut them out. I didn't like the wash of the denim I had available so I used the wrong side for the right side. At this time cut copies of the denim onto your scrap piece of cotton. Now you should have four feet, two denim, two cotton. The cotton will be the underside lining to avoid visible seams and keep all straps intact. It's also easier to glue on this way, least for me. Take the denim pieces and cut a small slit big enough for the toe ring straps. To position the slit I referenced my old flip flops. Next take the toe ring strap and pass it through the slit until there's half inch of the strap out of there. You will sew the strap in place for 1.5 centimeters long, very close to the raw edges of the slit. Now pin the rest of your straps into place. It helps to use your foot and actually place the straps on them but of course be careful with pinning. Once you have them where you want them, sew them down at less then a quarter of an inch and remove those pins when finished. Then place the cotton shoe over this denim side with the straps and pin that together. You will sew all around at 4/8" and leave a small opening to flip the fabric inside out to reveal the insides as your outer shells. Before flipping cut vertical slits around the shoes to allow nice curves once flipped. With the shoes now flipped, try them on your feet and check out how the straps feel. I had to un-sew and re-sew some of mine to get a more snug fit. You can either iron press them now or after you do a final seam all around the shoes at about 3/8" making sure to close the openings you left for flipping. I wasn't able to sew completely around as some straps were in the way, as they should be but still, it's okay to only sew around what's visible (no one can really see under the straps anyway). Once you've got a good fit and it's all sewed and pressed, you're ready to glue them down onto your old pair and muah! You've given new life to an old pair of shoes that were heading to the trash. P.S. I took some bleach to the straps to tone down the dark denim a bit. I forgot to include a side view of the sandals but I can tell you that since I chose to use the bright orange flip flops I had, there is a thin visible layer of orange. That's okay with me though.

As a mom and designer I'm on my feet for most the day and we just moved into our new home that has wood floors, including my studio. I was always wearing flip flops and now that it's getting cold I found myself putting on flip flops with socks...yikes. I saw these Dritz Espadrille Soles and had an idea to create a "house boot" I could wear around the house that still had a comfortable sole but a sock like cover on top. Almost like an Ugg boot but not so heavy and eco-friendly! I dug through my pile of giveaway clothes and came across this old sweater my boys had out grown. It had a raglan sleeve that when cut was the perfect boot shape. It also happened to fit perfectly around the size 8 sole. You can also use these espadrille soles to make flats, slippers, moccasins, and sherpa boots. They also have them in toddler sizes so I'm going to have to make some for Louie's Booties one of these days. Get the details below to make your own upcycled sweater boots. Supplies: The soles run a bit larger so I went a size down. Dritz Espadrille Soles purchase here. Old Sweater Elastic Needles Yarn Remove the sleeve of the sweater When cutting include the seam allowance. This will keep the sweater from unraveling. Cut a strip of elastic that measures the curve of your foot minus 1" (the red dashed line). Sew (zig zag stitch) the elastic on the wrong side where it starts to curve. As you sew, pull the elastic to fit from one side to the other. You want this to be snug but not uncomfortable. This will keep the boot from sliding when you walk. Stretch the bottom of the sweater out to fit the sole. Pin the sweater onto the sole. I pinned the back (where the seam was), the front mid point, and sides. Then added the pins around those points. The pins stick right into the sole. Use yarn and a blanket stitch to attach around the edges. Start from the outer mid sole going to the heel, and continue to wrap around to where you started. The package also comes with thorough instructions to make a pair of espadrille flats. I've been wearing these for days and call them my "Studio Boots." I can't wait to make a few more looks with these like the ones below: click on photo for tutorial. *In collaboration with Dritz.
