👟 Happy Feet! Quilted Sneakers 👟 Create Your Own Custom Sneakers
Advertisement
👩🏫 Instructor: Joan Radell
💲 Cost: $150 for guild members | $160 for guests
⚠️ Kit fee is non-refundable due to custom-ordered sneaker soles
Join us for a fun and creative day in the classroom as you design and construct your very own one-of-a-kind quilted sneakers! Choose fabrics that reflect your personal style or make a bold statement — you’ll only need 3 fat quarters to get started.
With Joan’s comprehensive kit, you’ll create a complete pair of sneakers from start to finish using the original pattern she designed.
🧵 What’s Included in the Kit
Sneaker soles
Padded insoles
Happy Feet! Quilted Sneakers pattern and step-by-step guide (designed by Joan Radell)
All incidental materials will be provided.
You bring:
Your fabric (3 fat quarters)
Foam interlining
Interfacing
We’ll be making hi-top sneakers, but you may opt for classic low-top sneakers (Keds-style) instead. The supply list is the same for both styles.
🛠️ Tools
The instructor will have leather punches and eyelet-setting tools available to borrow.
If you already own a 2mm leather punch and/or a 3/16” eyelet setting punch with anvil, feel free to bring them along.
👟 Important Sizing Information
