Making Shoe Soles Part 5: Espadrille Soles! 

I've just found your videos. They're amazing!I'm very grateful, now I can do them by my own self here in Brasil! Thans a lot for that! Best wishes!

I have just discovered your videos! Thank you very much for sharing! Very well explained and shown. Now I will be able to make ones for myself! Thank you again!

Fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing! I was straight out crocheting soles but this looks like it would allow for much more accuracy in shaping. Thank you again!

I just happened to have it, but recently saw one exactly like it in a fabric and notions store - it is a needle for weaving and actually quite common!

Thank you for sharing this. I am looking for this for my next crochet project.

omg i jsut found your channel and i am OBSESSED!!!!!

thank you for this tutorial! I love the idea of a natural fiber sole that will last! The pliers are a food idea, I saw one guy use sort of a thimble for the palm of his hand. it was like a metal circle with an elastic bracelet on each side with the circle in the center of his palm for pushing the needle through

So beautiful I like your work thanks for sharing

Oh, I am very sorry, but I really don't know anymore. I started braiding with about 3-4 meter long strips, as long as my room, basically... and then I had to add on some more, which isn't a big deal at all. Whatever works best for you. Extremely long strands are hard to manage...

Благодарю Вас что делитесь информацией. Очень интересно

Thank you for your hard work and sharing, may I ask how many meters of jute braid you need to make a pair? 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing these

The giant needle may be a doll assembly needle. Used to stitch through from joint to joint?

Thank you thank you for sharing this! I've been experimenting with hemp soles for some time, and I've been wishing for this very information. Now, where to find a giant needle like that. Deep appreciation.

Hello, thank you so much for posting this! I was wondering if you could post another video teaching how to make an alpargata. I have looked everywhere but couldn't find any video and I really would like to learn how to make one. Your videos are the best so far. I would be very thankful if you could teach how to make and attach the upper.

I have to say this is very neat. I would like to build my self a pair of sandals that will last for ever I know it is a tall task but I really like stuff that last for ever. am thinking I can use cotton rope and it might be a little more durable. great video thanks for sharing

awesome!!! tyvm.

Wowwwww... Beautiful... Thanks!!! ;) :) ;)

Muito bom!

You should be able to buy/order it from a regular sewing notions store - it is a needle used for weaving.

greetings, I had time tonight to watch your video, i appreciate all the ways you took the time-honored process for making espadrille soles and simplified it. It would be nice if there were sturdy crochet loops along the top edge so the upper could use them to be stitched directly to the sole, as in the "Alpargatas". I will put a link to this video on my blog, with gratitude and fascination, sharon

you could just go a few inches then sew it to the last spiral and so on... instead of trying to go through it all?

I love these! Could I make them for wearing outside?

THANK YOU

This is great! Would you mind telling me a bit more about the thickness of the cord you braided the rope with? I’m making my own and I’m not sure what cord to purchase.

Thank you for this I wonder if the needle is a sail-maker's needle ? A sail-maker's palm might also help save your hands

the needle you are using is for mending fishers men's nets ,how ever it seems to work fine on this as well. great video

what is the needle called and where did you get it from? I've searched everywhere online and all i find is short sewing awls. Could you please show me where I could buy it online?

Mattress making needle?

Oh, I just saw this comment, thank you so much! Yes, this was just the sole-work, how the upper will be attached is yet to be determined! :-)

Where to get the big needle? :)

Super

🎉🎉🎉

Good video! But on the 1.54 - you did not show how did you start to make the sole from the from A to Z .... its only shows when there is an oval already.....so if you can separate video for it - that would be great! Thank you!

check in dollmaking supplies for a needle like that

Combien de brin ficelle halfa pour faire la tresse a semelle, et aussi le diamètre du brin .

Did you make a distinction between the right and left sole or are both the same? And how did you determine the size?

Hello. I maybe missed that , but how much of the rope stuff did u need to make the soles.

Traducir en español por favor

it is jute braided sole

Hi... you ignore the benefit of the contact , and massage this natural fiber give at your feets ? why a cover ?

Is there any reason not to use a hot glue gun?
