As out Topic is all about Vikings, we got the chance to follow a real Viking shoe pattern and make a shoe. Normally the Vikings made their shoes out of leather. We used felt as it is easier to  cut out and sew.

It was really weird as you make the shoe inside out to begin with. When you have done all of the sewing then you turn them the right way out.

The bits round the heel were really tricky, but we persevered and managed to get there to make some fabulous turnsole shoes.
