Join us for an afternoon creating your own pair of wool sheepskin Cabin Slippers! In this 4 hour workshop, you will learn how to make a pair of handmade wool sheepskin (AKA shearling) slippers from start to finish.

Start by choosing your sheepskin colors, trace and cut out your patterns, cut a durable leather sole, add a foam midsole, hammer the stitching holes into the pattern pieces, and hand-stitch them together to assemble the slippers. Last but not least, you will have the option to add a collage of colorful shearling on top of your slippers. You’ll leave with a pair of handmade, customized, super warm slippers that will last through many chilly seasons.

No previous experience is necessary. We will use sharp scissors to cut out our patterns, and a hammer and small metal hand tools, so you’ll need to be comfortable gripping tools, hammering, and hand-stitching.

No prior bookbinding experience is required, though a basic understanding of hand-sewing would be helpful.

You’ll leave with a pair of handmade, customized, super warm slippers that will last through many chilly seasons.
