How to Make Quilted Sneakers is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for sewists and quilters ready to expand their skills into footwear construction. Blending traditional quilting techniques with practical shoemaking methods, this book delivers the structure, precision, and technical guidance required to create durable, wearable sneakers.
Join veteran shoemaker and authors Wade and Andrea Motawi as they lead you through the complete process-from concept to finished pair-sharing professional insight drawn from years of hands-on craftsmanship. Their combined expertise bridges the gap between textile artistry and functional shoe design, making advanced construction approachable without sacrificing quality.
Beginning with essential tools, materials, and foundational skills, you'll move confidently through each stage of development: design planning, layout strategy, quilting structural shoe components, precision tracing and cutting, and systematic assembly. Detailed chapters cover reinforcement installation, eyelet setting, outsole bonding, and both adhesive and stitched sole construction methods.
Clear instruction, practical techniques, and a focus on durability ensure that your finished sneakers are not only distinctive, but built to last.
How to Make Quilted Sneakers equips you with the knowledge, accuracy, and professional methods needed to step beyond traditional quilting-and into expertly crafted footwear.
72 Pages, over 180 color images, Full size 8.5 x 11 Format.
