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

No, our Makers Guide is only sold in our Makers and Basics Kits.

How do I get my sneaker patterns and Maker’s Guide?

Our Sneaker Stitch shoe patterns and Maker’s Guide are supplied as downloadable PDF files. You’ll need to download and save them before you begin making your sneakers.

  • Purchased on our website? You’ll receive an email containing your download link. Please check your spam or junk folder if you can’t find it.
  • Purchased at a show or event? Your kit comes with a flyer explaining how to visit our website and access your downloads. Follow the steps on the flyer to receive your patterns and Maker’s Guide.

Once downloaded, save the files somewhere easy to find on your device. You can open them using Adobe Acrobat Reader or another PDF reader, and print the pages you need.

Why are the patterns and Maker’s Guide provided digitally?

Printing full pattern sets and guides for every kit would add a considerable cost. Providing them digitally helps us keep our kits affordable and lets you print only what you need.

It also means that, once we have your email details, we can send you updated versions when we make improvements or changes.

Can we buy and run a class for a group without being Accreditied? 

Yes you can.  Products will need to be purchased individually on the website by those making the shoes.  

I live in Brisbane, can I collect my order? 

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

I want to buy your products wholesale!

Sneaker Stitch is a both a retailer and distributor.  We do not wholesle our products.  Teachers and Stores who are part of our Accreditation program have the ability to purchase stock for their classes at a partner discount. Find our more in our Work With Us page.

Do you sell fabric/laces/grommets/tool kits - on their own? 

On occasion Sneaker Stitch may sell these items at a Pop Up event or Craft Show but on our website our items are only sold as part of a kit. 

I’m having trouble downloading my patterns and guides. 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.
