Short introduction to the use of sewing machines/Sewing labs/Shoe covers

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

In this laboratory we will learn to create your own shoe cover for rainy seasons or snow seasons.

Materials: Nylon fabric (a nylon laundry bag can also be used).

1.- Cut an area twice bigger than the surface area of you shoes. 2.- Wrap the nylon over you shoes 3.- The nylon will be cut as a boot, we will avoid to sew the bottom areas of the shoes, trace lines with chalk for the cuts. Leave 2 lines to wrap and tie the boot. 4.- Sew the shoe cover in more with more than 3 lines to prevent leaking inside the shoe cover.

Precautions: Avoid to use this covers in slippery areas or icy areas, a crampon can be used to prevent falls.

Recommendation: Had a plastic bag to carry the shoe cover after it's use since it may be wet, and you may want to reuse them.
