Handmade in small batches

Leatherwork and soft wool, stitched for university.

I'm Clara. I finish high school this year. I make leather moccasins, hand-knit and crochet sheepskin-soled slippers, hand-tooled belts, and custom orders — and every piece helps pay for school.

From the bench

One piece at a time, between classes.

I'm finishing high school, and this is how I'm earning toward university. Every moccasin is hand-cut, hand-awled, and hand-sewn. Every slipper is hand-knit or hand-crocheted, then sewn to a genuine sheepskin sole with the wool on the inside. Every belt is hand-cut and hand-tooled. All of it is done by me.

How the work is done

Hand-cut. Hand-awled. Hand-knit. Hand-tooled.

  1. Cut — leather patterns and sheepskin soles marked and cut by hand.
  2. Form — stitch holes awled by hand; yarn crocheted or knitted by hand.
  3. Finish — saddle stitch, tool lines, burnished edges, wool turned to the inside of the foot.

Why this exists

Saving for university, one stitch at a time.

Tuition is not abstract to me. Every pair that leaves the bench is materials paid for and a little more put aside for next year. I'm not a factory — I'm a student with sharp tools, yarn, and patience.
