How to sew soft and comfortable ugg boots for a baby
The process begins with preparation. It involves specially piercing holes. This is why you need an awl. This is very important so that when sewing by hand, the needle passes easily and nothing stops the thread. Also at this stage it will be easy to make neat and even holes and the seam will be quite smooth and presentable. The holes must be made at an equal distance both from each other and from the edge of the product.
But there is no need for such a procedure if you plan to sew the ugg boots on a machine using a closed seam.
Products with a closed seam also look beautiful, but the difficulty will be in getting an even seam, since the shoes are very small, and not every machine can handle such thick material.
Important! An open and even seam can be made with a contrasting thread. To do this, you need to choose a thread that matches the color of the material.
Sewing the toe and shin. After preparing each part, piercing holes with an awl. you can connect two parts shin and toe. Align at marked point A and begin stitching with neat stitches. It is better to stitch the needle forward with a regular seam. Next, go around the circle a second time and complete the empty spaces, so you get an almost machine stitch.
Important! When using a thin thread, you need to sew with several layers of thread.
It is better to sew from point A, this way you can avoid even significant displacement of the fabric and in the end you will get an even seam without gathering. First make a line to the right, then to the left.
Next, stitching occurs with the foot. It is better to sew the foot from the middle of the toe. Align the toe of the foot with the toe and begin stitching. You can pin it slightly with pins, this will result in a more even, flawless connection of the parts. Sew from the center point to the right and left to the middle of the heel. Sew the second pair of patterns in the same way.
All that remains is to make the last seam - it connects the sides of the lower leg. If you plan to have any fastening on the back of the shoe, you do not need to sew it all the way. and leave room for the fastener.
Everything needs to be collected. With fur inserts, make the same seams and then insert the sheepskin into the finished parts. It is better to strengthen all this with invisible hidden seams, but so that the knots are hidden between the tabs and do not interfere with the leg.
Very often, Ugg boots are made with Velcro fastening. It is very comfortable for a child. Mom, when dressing up her baby, will be glad to have such a simple clasp. After a walk, it will be easier to undress the child; some children at one year old can already cope with these types of fasteners on their own. Some rules for attaching such a convenient and practical fastener:
- pattern. For children's shoes, it is better to cut a rectangular shape of the Velcro strip. The standard width is 2 cm and length is 3-4 cm. So, it will last a long time and will securely fix without unfastening from tension;
- sewing. All Velcro have special strips without sticky lint. These are the places where the seam should go. Therefore, in such places you need to go through with a needle and make small, even stitches.
Important! You don’t need to sew with a long thread, as it will constantly get into the Velcro and get tangled and ruin the fastener.
The fabric of the fastener itself is very dense and therefore when making a seam you will need a special thimble; it will help not injure your hands and make the work faster.
That's all the subtleties of working with children's shoes for winter. After completing the product, it can be decorated with various applications. Or just sew on a simple label from the store. Those who have enough imagination for the Ugg boots themselves will not encounter difficulties in decorating the finished product.
