[Tadpole]

Does anyone who is going to the moot know how to make moccasins (the two piece type with the Vamp and sole) I’ve a mans sheepskin leather jacket that I want to turn into a pair for a Friend. And don’t want to mess it up. Any hands on help and advice would be Greatly appreciated. Thank you

I think several of us have made moccs. Although I don't think I've done the style you're refering to.
I also have a book of mocc styles which is interesting.
Happy to help if I can

I've made myself a Delaware style pair from Bambi's Mother, but not a two piece slipper style

I reckon Eric is the man to talk to there.

I've made a few pairs over the years. If you are inexperienced test the pattern out in e.g canvas or heavy paper before cutting skin.

I think Eric Methven is doing a workshop on leathercraft at the moot and the making of mocs is something that has been mentioned.

I have made a couple of pairs from the method here - I am sure the author and magazine both will be OK with me reproducing the image ...neither are of this world anymore!

If that is the case that is wonderful news, I've got size eleven feet and need to make it for size nine feet.
No idea where to start on converting measurments

I am a standard size 9 - you can use my feet for the pattern if you like - I will be there making footwear with Eric at some point too

that would be great John, will you also be up for swapping stuff?

No worries, we'll get you sorted out.

I too would be interested in seeing a pair or two if anyone is bringing them along. Thinking about making some later on.
