The perfect way to give your shoes another lease of life Tana Lawn Fabric Custom

Making Shoe Laces Using Liberty Fabric

We all love our white canvas pumps – they're comfy, fashionable, versatile and go with everything in our wardrobes, but what if you want to stand out from the crowd?

This simple craft idea – making shoe laces – will give your pumps a stylish flourish and looks fabulous with your favourite pair of denim jeans or a classic summer dress.

Our craft team have used a kitsch floral print fabric from Liberty to contrast against white but if florals aren't your style, then choose a print to reflect your taste. Once you've selected your fabric, just follow our basic guide and you'll have a brand new pair of kicks, bound to be admired by everyone!

We love having a different pair of laces to match each outfit – it's a great way to feel like you've got new shoes without breaking the bank!

This craft project is a great way to use up old scraps of fabric from other sewing projects. Making your own shoelaces are the perfect make for beginners, as it doesn't require a sewing machine or much knowledge of sewing techniques. All you need is your fabric, a sewing needle and some thread. It really couldn't be easier!

And if you get the bug for sewing with Liberty fabric, why not try English paper piecing to create a beautiful quilted cushion or throw.
