Hey everyone, I’m Chantel

I’ve been trying to become a member since 2016, so I’m really excited to finally be onboard. I’m into upholstery and furniture upcycling, but I’ve made all kinds of stuff in the past; from soap to notebooks, shoes and clothes. I wanted to join SLMS because I’m really interested in learning more carpentry skills and screen printing.

Very cool, welcome! Upcycling is the way to go! Hopefully it wasn’t just the waiting list that kept you from joining for so long!

Welcome Chantel! I’m curious about the shoes you made. Do you mind sharing some details?

Hi Kyle,
I found a company that created a really easy to use kit that comes with all the equipment you need. https://www.sneakerkit.eu/

That’s really awesome! I’ve always been intimidated by exactly those parts! What a great idea!

Wooooah! I would totally be up for making some of those!!!
And you can order 2 which would cost only £66 instead of £86 per pair. And you can pick 2 different sizes and styles!

and we could custom them with laser engraving!

I bought two pairs, one for me, one for my boyfriend. :blush:
The laser engraving is a great idea.
