Make a fantastic pair of hand-stitched moccasins with the softest suede in your own size, with bespoke shoe designer Rose Choules in two days!

Having been named the 2011 winner of the Footwear Friends Designer Award, designer Rose Choules successfully launched the Rose Choules Moccasin Atelier in Selfridges: an exclusive special for the Christmas season, with moccasins available both as custom orders and from a limited ready-to-wear selection. Now snap a rare chance to make moccasins in Rose's style, exclusively at Prescott & Mackay.

You will focus on the traditional moccasin construction, hand stitched techniques, using sewing machines and making your own beautiful fabric insoles.

Course outline:

Day 1: Moccasin patterns and components.

• Understanding the pattern making process.
• Using patterns to cut leathers and component materials.
• Preparing materials for construction: hole punching, marking and skiving.
• Making insoles with fabric of choice.
