Havre Swim Shoes (Goober Pea Designs)

Havre Swim Shoes are a great way to use up your swim scraps and protect feet for outdoor play. Use leftovers to make a pair to match a swimsuit! Options include:

• Lined or unlined versions
• Unlined version uses elastic around the opening
• Lined version can be made with exposed seam or enclosed seam

PATTERN INFORMATION

Difficulty Level: Confident Beginner to Intermediate, depending on options. The elastic on the unlined version and the enclosed seam method of the lined version require more skill than the lined version with exposed seams. Full sew along video available here.

Recommended Fabric:

• The upper part of the shoe is designed for swim fabric, but it could also be made in quick dry athletic knits with at least 50% 4 way stretch. If you want to use them out of the water, they could also be made in other 4 way knits such as cotton lycra.
• The lined version can be lined with more of the main fabric, or with swim lining.
• The best fabric for the sole is Toughtek, but if that is not accessible to you, other options that work are plastic shelf liner, faux leather, real leather, etc.
