#2 Cut the vamp and the side/heel band out of ultra suede, felt etc. Glue vamp (top piece) around foot leaving enough at the toe to glue to the sole. Glue side heel band around foot. See picture #3. Let dry until tacky so it won't come apart while doing the rest of the work.

#4 Spread tacky glue on bottom of foot and place a piece of shoe fabric larger than foot over the glue. Try to make sure all edges are glued to the sole. See picture #5. Let dry until tacky then trim away excess sole material. Using a contrasting thread, do a tiny whip stitch around the sole edge. This is mostly for decoration, but adds a lot of detail to the shoe.
