Welcome passionate seamstresses, tailors and diy lovers.
Today this video is going to show you how to cover your shoes with fabric.
I've had a lot of people asking me about how I do this and apart from being really fun and exciting it's a great way to:
- Revitalize old shoes
- Cover shoes for a wedding or special occasion
- Or even to match an outfit you have just made
Or just a great way to have some fun! (school or weekend projects anyone!?)
Please enjoy, like and subscribe and feel free to post your feedback and comments below, I really love to hear about what you guys are doing, and if there is anything you'd like me to do tutorials on, feel free to leave it in the comments section below.
P.S. It is machine washable after 72 hours so should be fine if they get wet

Actually, making sure the fabric is 'on the bias' at the toe, will make it more cooperative as it will stretch and shrink much more easily without wrinkles because of the way the woven threads will be laying.

I use to cover shoes about fifteen years ago and around Mother's Day I would be swamped with orders. Back then I did not know much about what to use to put the fabric on. I used Fabri-Tac glue and it worked well. Glad to see this video and it gave me a new way to do it. Thanks for sharing and great job. Oh yeah, doing it the way I did them was messy too but the end result was worth it and same here. Just beautiful.

My seventh grade english teacher would wear shoes with fabric prints that matched her blouses. I always wondered how she did that. Now I know. :)

@georgegoertzen4723 6 лет назад

Stitching up a single layer ' belt carrier' like strip of fabric to glue over the 'seam' at the back will give a more 'professional' look to your finished product. Oh, I really have to try covering some shoes now. Can't wait to find the shoe/fabric to work with! Thanks so much for the inspiring video that makes it look easy enough for me give it a go, even with arthritis in my hands!

JOB WELL DONE, WILL THROW AWAY OLD SHOES AGAIN, THIS VIDEO IS WORTH WATCHING

@BamKool 7 лет назад

Wow, thank you for that tutorial. I have a few pair that needs altering and that is exactly what I need to do for my pairs that are still good but the vinyl on one shoe is peeling on top.

@michelleproctor4648 6 лет назад

Thank you for your time " money is tight for a lot of us & this is a wonderful ideal ! Blessings 🙏

@LayceArt 9 лет назад

Brilliant! So nice to actually watch a video and see it all done step-by-step! You make it look so easy I think I'm going to give it a go. Thanks Judith!

@janicehughes6253 7 лет назад

Thank you! I started to cover a pair of boats but did not know what I was doing. Know with your help I can complete them so thank again.

@patriciakuadey1580 6 лет назад

Best video ever! Thank you for taking the time to show us step by step what to do!!

@connectwithgodtv 7 лет назад

Judith thanks a lot. The tutorial is so easy to understand. I believe I can do that without watching the video again, I mean, it's so clear. You're really a teacher. Please how can we determine the width and length of fabric before cutting.? Please let's know what to consider before cutting the fabric for the project. Thanks again.

@JudithTurnerakagenie 7 лет назад

Thank you Tonia. The width and length should be a little more than the width and length of the shoe. I would allow at least 10 cm (4 in) either side. It can be cut off later.

@blighty3248 7 лет назад

I'm a new subscriber to your channel... not sure i would be able to do it ..but really enjoyed watching you transform your plain shoes into a pair of unique shoes... Many thanks...

@TheMilohemlock 6 лет назад

You're right. It was a very long video, and worth every minute of it! Thank you so very much. I can't wait to get started on my own pair. Does it matter if the original shoe surface is smooth, cloth or leather/ suede? How well do the modifications hold up to extremely low temperatures, like below zero Fahrenheit? Thank you again. M

@JudithTurnerakagenie 6 лет назад

Gosh. I have no idea on low temperatures. I live in the Gold Coast Australia. Sub Tropical. The coldest we get is around 9 degrees for maybe a few days in winter. LOL

@Rosesinbloom-qu1sc 7 лет назад

great tutorial! I've wanted to do this for years but never quite thought through the details on how to do it. Thanks. Any tips on choosing the fabric to cover your shoes?

@armellelabelle9147 7 лет назад

Wow thanks for that video I've learned so much...you've given me so much confidence and am glad that it was long...otherwise how can you learn.

@janicelphillips 6 лет назад

I covered my shoes with fabric from my homemade prom dress in 1969! Terrific video!

@morevaseret 7 лет назад

I covered my shoes for period dancing so that they matched the gown. I made a paper pattern first, then cut between sole and upper to half a centimetre in, so that the fabric could be glued between upper and sole. I also cut the fabric on the bias so that it would conform better. I only used glue for the sole part and the overlap to the inside of the shoe. The rest I sewed. They need to stand up to Playford Dancing, and they do. Not tried Mod Podge. May give it a go next time. The glue I used was Bostic 1

@judithmartin4490 6 лет назад

I didn’t read all of the comments. So you may have answered this. Have you had trouble with glue unstick in after accidental moisture . . . walking through wet grass?I know you could reglue. Still, I wondered about protecting covered shoes from ungluing. I have 2 pairs I want to cover. Can’t wait. Thanks.

@JudithTurnerakagenie 6 лет назад

Mod Podge is waterproof.

@pameladuff5285 8 лет назад

@sumedhac9387 7 лет назад

Judith Turner you are a genius.

@ElectedOfficial1 6 лет назад

Using an exacta knife at the end. Use lightly as they are also and mainly used as box cutters.by cutting sideways instead of straight on she is able to tuck at the same time but you must be experienced with the correct pressure so as not to cut the shoe.

@JudithTurnerakagenie 6 лет назад

@GHCDesigns 8 лет назад

I really appreciate the detailed explanations you've given in this video. Great job and thank you for teaching this. One question: Can I use any kind of Mod Podge or does it have to be the one for fabric?

@JudithTurnerakagenie 8 лет назад

+Jacqui G Hi Jacqui. Still working out how to use RU-vid comments. Here is the info you asked for. The Mod Podge I used is Fabric-Tissu-Tela. It is available at my website geniecentre.com at my shop under Haberdashery Aids, Glues and Dyes.

@jannineshapiro3277 8 лет назад

what type of awl are you using?

@JudithTurnerakagenie 8 лет назад

It is a standard tailors awl. It does not have a sizing on the packet. It is about 12.5 cm (5in) long. Sharp point. The stanley knife is from my garage and is probably about 30 years old.

@berniegurley9904 6 лет назад

Excellent job, thanks for sharing.

@MRossetti50 6 лет назад

Amazing job. How do you know how much fabric to cut?

@JudithTurnerakagenie 6 лет назад

You will notice in the video that I cut enough to cover the shoe and a little bit more. Depends on the shoe size.

@cheryljones1873 6 лет назад

very nice look's great thanks for sharing

@lauralapa4079 7 лет назад

great tutorial , i never dare doing it, now i think that i will be able to do so, would you be kind enough to let me know the name of that thin tool that you use finishing the shoe with please? thank you x

@JudithTurnerakagenie 7 лет назад

Hi Laura. It is an awl. they can be purchased at most shops that sell sewing tools.

@lauralapa4079 7 лет назад

hi Judith , thank you for answering... i bought one already, they are really great for my arts and crafts....as English s my 1st language, sometimes i don't know the names of certain things, to look for them online...so once again... thank you very much ...and carry on teaching those wonderful techniques to us....regards

@kennethstensrud669 6 лет назад

Would the glue adhere better if the shoes leather had been roughened with a bit of sandpaper? And I think those shoes would look really sassy with a bright red heel. . ...

@JudithTurnerakagenie 6 лет назад

No sure about the leather bit. Try it and see.

I want to cover the tips of my faux leather sneakers with leather. Will this method work? Thank you!

@JudithTurnerakagenie 7 лет назад

I am not sure if it would work on leather YaYa. I have never tried that. Perhaps you could trial using the Mod Podge on leather and attaching to something else first.

@sanittatinsley7914 7 лет назад

YaYa If using real leather contact rubber cement is awesome. It bonds leather perfectly. If using a faux leather my recommendation would be E6000

@JudithTurnerakagenie 7 лет назад

Thank you for sharing that with us Sanitta. Awesome

I must admit I was confused at first until you picked up the Awl (all) cos I expected a different tool. Great job on those shoes. Great idea to lengthen the life of comfy shoes, mine are the most comfy when hey are falling apart so to get more use out of them is great!

@lauralogan1896 6 лет назад

@JudithTurnerakagenie 8 лет назад

+Laveta Bell Ji Laveta. I did not put any more Modge Podge on the shoe. You can of course, but I found that the fabric was stuck well and truly and I didn't think it needed any more.

@saundrayork767 6 лет назад

Absolutely FABULOUS!! Thank you so much for this & especially for showing the up-close details! Ordinarily I hate long videos; however, this was worth every minute! Now, some questions: What type of fabric works best? What happens if they get wet? Will the glue hold even if the shoes are worn for many hours? Thanks again

@JudithTurnerakagenie 6 лет назад

I find that cotton works best. I used 100% quilting cotton on the animal print. But the other ones were just a fabric I had in my stash. I think it was part polyester. But it worked fine as well. Mod Podge is machine washable after 72 hours. So getting wet is not an issue. Like any shoes they will become worn over time. cheers

@saundrayork767 6 лет назад

Thanks
