"Heart" Moccasins VIDEO + PDF Tutorial with Printable Patterns

Learn how to make custom-fitted leather moccasins by hand with Lougaya.

Over the course of 2 hours of video, Lougaya clearly and precisely explains how to make your own moccasins with very few and simple hand tools.

The great difference with most other moccasins and patterns that you can find on the market is that ours are made to be adjusted exactly to the morphology of each person. Patterns will suit people from size 34 to 48 EU / 3 to 14 US.

We are convinced that even people without prior experience in leather work or sewing can complete this project quite easily.

When purchasing our tutorials, you will gain instant access to the videos that you will be able to watch and replay as many times as you like.

Along with the videos, you will receive the PDF tutorial as well as the printable patterns. (see files to download via Etsy)

The video tutorial helps to understand the right gesture, whereas the PDF tutorial highlights important details in large images and written explanations and helps you to keep track of each step in order. Even after your first pair, it is a useful document to remember how to make them without having to watch all the videos again.

With practice, a pair can be made in only 2 to 3 hours, but it would usually take about 1 day on the first trial.

Patterns should be printed in A4 or US letter. If you are not able to print the patterns at home, please send us a request.

The tutorials also cover the topics of choosing leather and tools, making soles, leather conditioner, and even some ideas to make use of leather off-cuts and other projects to apply the techniques that you will have learned.

What are the "Heart" Moccasins ?

They are soft-soled shoes or barefoot-shoes. Made of 100% leather, they act and feel just like a second-skin.

They will well protect your feet from sharp objects, dirt, etc; while at the same time allowing you to feel the ground’s texture.

Likewise, they are suitable to where indoors and outdoors, although they will need to be re-soled once in a while to guarantee their durability.

This elegant design is made in one piece of leather. The stitch makes a heart shape when you put your feet together.

This design is NOT recommended for people that have a strong/steep instep (when the width at the ball of the foot is thinner than the width around the instep). If it is your case, we recommend the "Moon" or the "Leaf" designs that are more adjustable around the instep/arch without having to make modifications to the pattern. If you really want to make the Heart moccasins anyway, a section of explanations on how to adjust the pattern is included in the PDF tutorial.
