Stitch Your Own Stubbs Needlepoint Slipper Class

Once again Reed Stewart is teaching a "Stitch Your Own Stubbs" class in Palm Beach.  The Stubbs referred to is Stubbs and Wootton, a footwear company, which will be making up the slippers designed in class.  The classes have started already but you might be able to still take the remaining classes or at least sign up for 2018.

The "Press" section of the Stubbs and Wootton website shows off their needlepoint and velvet creations.

The Cult of Needlepoint Slippers for Men

While trying to find places that make up needlepoint slippers I found this article by the founder of Stubbsa and Wootton on the history and cult of their men's needlepoint (and velvet) loafers.  Enjoy!

By the way, Frank Sinatra and Clark Gable wore custom needlepoint shoes from Mathias.
