You now need to sew all of your patterns together. If you aren't familiar with sewing, check out these next few steps for help.



There are two ways you can stitch your pieces together. Consult the photos.



The First Way:



Line your patterns up and pin them together so that the seam allowance guides you marked follow each other. This may be a little difficult.



Sew within your seam allowance. It is important to sew in a straight, smooth fashion or your seam will look messy when you invert the fabric.



The Second Way:



Depending on your style, you may want to cut the seam allowance off *one* of the two patterns, simply overlapping it with the adjacent pattern so that its edge lines up with the seam allowance markings you drew earlier.



Once lined up you can stitch your pattern without needing to invert the fabric later. I did this on the outside of my shoe, using the white string in my stitching to accent my black leather pieces (see photos).



*Note: user Lukieh suggests that machine-sewing or saddle stitching would improve the durability of the shoe, wherever sewing is required. I wholeheartedly agree. The stitching in this instructable is done in haste primarily, so, without a sewing machine, I didn't bother to saddle stitch.*
