well this is my Challenge for 2015 & IT WAS A BIG ONE! whew it took me longer to thread them back together then it did to figure out what design would fit . I am glad that I did it because I had it the back of my mind that these moccasins of hubs ( That I wear lol a little big but comfy) are quite ugly the way that they are & a little embroidery would pretty them up so much. That being said I doubt very much that I will try to do this again.......even with a darning needle these laces are too thick & it made for a very challenging 2 hours to lace them back up & my fingers are sore from yanking on the needle to pull the laces through.there are 3 layers for the bottom & the top that I had to go through to lace them back up so the red bits that you see are part of the liner & I'm sure will sink back in once I start to wear them again. After all is said & done even though one is off center I am glad that I took up the challenge & stitched these designs on real suede slippers!
