Renewing sandals

It was another lazy Saturday and I got a bit creative... I had my sandals for 3 years now and they looked a bit tired but I loved that bling detail and hesitated to throw them away...
I decided to upgrade them....
I found some suede scraps that has been lying about after another project and I decided to use them to make new straps and soles.

I've removed old straps and insoles, and removed diamante details. Copied all pieces on to suede and cut new pieces to replace the old ones

Here are the new suede piece covering insole and  

 new straps are doubled and stitched to form new straps




Then diamante detail is stitched on to the straps and attached the toe post piece and decorated straps are attached to the insole


I tried sandal on and it was just right so I attached the sole and " voile" sandals are ready to wear.






My sandals now looks great and much more
beautiful and comfy as suede is real and feels
much better than before. I am very happy with my new sandals
