I am inspired by the simple moccasin, which is both functional and a healthy alternative to synthetic or rigid footware.

There is something particularly satisfying about making these moccasins from just three pieces of suede; it is amazing how a three dimensional shoe emerges from the two dimensional material as I stitch.

For a 'fitted' pair, the process starts with you drawing around each of your feet and finishes with a pair of moccasins that will fit you like your favourite socks and enable your feet to spread out and move naturally.

I'm using a robust English suede and beautifully soft doe skin. I'm experimenting with different colours and vegetable tanned leather.
