WELCOME TO SNEAKER STITCH

Sew your own fabric sneakers at home with beginner-friendly DIY kits. Choose your fabrics, colours and details, then follow a step-by-step guide to create a pair that’s completely you.

Whether you’re a confident maker or returning to sewing, Sneaker Stitch makes the process achievable, creative and genuinely fun. Thousands of makers across Australia have already stitched their own custom sneakers.

GOT A QUESTION

Do you sell the Sneaker Stitch Makers Guide on its own?

No, our Makers Guide is only available as part of our Makers, Creative and Basics Kits.

I Purchased A Kit At A Craft Show & Tell Me About My Patterns?

When you purchase one of our kits at a craft event, you’ll receive a slip with instructions for downloading your Maker’s Guide and shoe patterns.

We provide these digitally rather than printing thousands of colour pages. It helps us keep the cost of our kits down and means you can download and print only the pattern for the shoe size you need.

Simply follow the instructions on the slip you received at the event and enter the unique code provided for that event. This will give you access to your Maker’s Guide and all the shoe patterns included with your kit.

Important: Please enter the event code exactly as it appears on your slip and follow each step of the instructions. If you do this, you should be able to access your downloads without any issues.

I Am Having Issues Downloading My Guide & Patterns - What Should I Do?

For the easiest download experience, we strongly recommend using a computer or laptop rather than your phone.

Before downloading, please make sure you have suitable software installed on your computer or device that can open and read PDF files.

When you download your files, you will receive a ZIP file containing everything you need, including:

  • Your complete 25-page Maker’s Guide
  • A separate pattern file for every shoe size

Once you have downloaded the file, it will usually be saved automatically in your computer’s Downloads folder.

Go to your Downloads folder, locate the ZIP file and unzip/extract the folder. You can then save the individual Maker’s Guide and pattern files somewhere on your computer where you can easily find them again.

We recommend saving your files once you’ve downloaded them so you have your own copy ready whenever you need to make another pair.

I live in Brisbane, can I collect my order? 

Sadly at this stage we do not offer the option of pick up.
