Let us know how that works if you are still around vette: Sorry I’m so late in responding and I hope you are enjoying your new grandbaby. While I haven’t ever added an inner fleece, my recommendation would be to measure the thickness of the felt and add that measurement to the boot. I’ll try to address the questions and comments best I Indoorsout: Thanks for your Montanadolphin: So glad it worked out for you.! Wish I could see your pictures but the links are broken. I haven’t checked this thread for a long time.
Please help me out, I am moving to a colder country soon and will be outdoors all the time and I really need to have made these boots before I go. So the guy said I would need to triple-layer my sole with these 2-4oz economy sueded splits to use them outside, but I don't know how I would do that with your guide or if I even need to. They also said that most people who use their patterns make the moccasins use them as slippers in the house, but I'm going to be using mine outdoors in cold weather, but on natural surfaces only. How do I know what type of leather and what thickness I should order? They said I should get the economy sueded splits, but they are 2-4oz which is only 0.8 to 1.6mm thickness. I'm planning to be ordering my leather from here:
I understood the rest of the guide perfectly. Align the holes and insert the end of a thong and tie a knot in it. Thongs: Lastly, insert the awl through both the moccasin and the tongue as shown. Note that on the right foot the uppers wrap in a counter-clockwise direction (ie right over left) while on the left foot it wraps in a clockwise direction (ie left over right). Therefore, I whipstitched the short side of the upper to the inside of the boot, resulting in uppers which wrap outside over inside. Moreover, I wanted that fold to be on the outside of my leg rather than on the inside where they would rub together when I walk. The widest part of the upper (ie the part that was cut straight) needed to be stitched to the boot, leaving the edge (ie the top part of the upper) to be folded over. However, I had to make an adjustment in order to accommodate the unusual shape of the hind-leg section I chose for uppers on these moccasins. Normally this is how uppers are stitched on, regardless of their height. You can see how this was done in the photos below: "Whipstitch the upper to the boot with right sides together, beginning with the short side on the outside of the moc. Lining up the middle of the tab with the mark you just made, whipstitch it beginning at the top and down each side, making sure it stays centered on the back seam. Remove the moc and trim the corners of the tab to make it round. Put your moccasin on and pull the tab up the back of your heel until it is a smooth fit and mark that spot on the heel. Run a wooden spoon firmly along the seams on the inside of the moc to smooth and flatten the seams. Now at last you can turn your moccasin right-side out. "Whipstitch the back of the heel to the sole, from the inside: I'm sorry - I really tried, to the point of getting a head-ache, but I did not understand any of the following two chunks(including the relevant pictures):
