Modified Salish Side Seam Mocassins
Today I finished my mocassins for the project. There is a floating sole stiched between the shoe and the actual sole, so three layers total. This is a modified version of the pattern in Jim Rigg’s book Blue Mountain Buckskin. Even with three soles, I may wear through pretty quickly out in the woods. Lynx has me toughening up my feet so that I can go barefoot more and not use the shoes. I’m also going to make a pair of buffalo skin sandals to take on the project as well. Footwear ain’t no joke!
Beautifully crafted Peter!
Your lucky its not raining, otherwise you would have giant sponges on your feet. Even if you oiled them.
