How did you attach the fabric to the soles?

I took a Sashiko thread and needle and made the stitches so similar to the original that I could
queenofhearts-The Sashiko thread anitapatch mentions, is most likely like a buttonhole twist thread that we have in the states or maybe an outdoor type thread. I looked closely and it looks like she caught the jute braid, or whatever you call the trim around the sole, with her stitching very nicely.
Thak you. I suppose if you left a small margin of the original fabric you could sew the new fabric to that. This is a very ambitious undertaking with great results.

Very smart of you and courageous too! You have done an excellent job and so much prettier than the navy. A very unique pair you have now!
