How to make moccasins fit smaller / tighter, taught by a Metis Home Ec teacher.
Did your moccasins stretch out and now they're too big? Here's three methods to fix them so they fit smaller or tighter again! This tutorial is made for beginners and experiences moccasin makers alike. Each method addresses a different area of the moccasin, and requires a different level of sewing expertise (including a no-sew method for the beginners in the crowd).

    Hi. I took a class locally last year and was disappointed with the results. I took the slippers apart and reworked them according to this tutorial, with a much better outcome. I am ready to attempt a second pair for my daughter in law and wonder how I can make a larger slipper without being able to trace her foot, which is just slightly larger than mine. Would I add an extra inch to the length at the toe? Or in the middle at the instep? Thanks for any guidance you can offer!

    This tutorial has been up on my computer for 3 days now, and I keep rewinding to make sure I'm doing things, like making warp threads and weaving in ends, correctly and it has been an absolute godsend. First bracelet attempt failed because I made the warp threads too short to weave in, but second attempt (technically third, warp threads got unmanageably tangled on my true second attempt) is going really well!

    I'm struggling with square stitch and saw how much easier loom stitching is from your video a while back. I'm wondering about the durability of loom vs square stitch for smaller rectangle earrings and charms? Would we be able to make keychain or phone chain charms with the durability of square stitch or is it not recommended?
