This beginner-friendly fabric shoelace pattern includes the pattern and green aglets needed to make two pairs of custom shoelaces.

• Includes pattern and green aglets
• Makes two pairs of shoelaces
• Skill level: Beginner
• Designed for making fabric shoelaces
• Great for sneakers, casual shoes, handmade gifts, and stash projects
• Works well with prints, solids, batiks, florals, and novelty fabrics

The project shown in the photos highlights the appeal of handmade shoelaces: a simple sneaker becomes an eye-catching accessory when laced with bright, printed fabric. Use floral prints for a cheerful everyday look, graphic fabrics for modern style, batiks for rich color movement, novelty prints for themed shoes, or scraps from a favorite handmade project for a coordinated finish. Because shoelaces use a relatively small amount of fabric, this pattern is especially useful for scraps that are too special to throw away but too small for a larger project.

The included green aglets bring a lively finishing touch to the ends of the shoelaces. Green pairs well with botanical prints, nature-inspired fabrics, garden themes, rainbow prints, holiday fabrics, sports colors, and designs with teal, lime, emerald, olive, or leafy accents. They can blend into green-heavy prints or provide a playful contrast against multicolor fabric. The aglets help create a finished look so the laces feel like a purposeful handmade accessory rather than a simple fabric strip.

This is a great project for beginner sewists because it is small and approachable, with a finished result that can be used right away. It also works well for classes, sewing clubs, teen projects, craft nights, and gift-making sessions. Experienced makers can use it to batch-sew laces for family members, coordinate shoes with handmade bags or clothing, or create quick seasonal accessories from fabric already in their stash.

Choose coordinating fabric to make each pair match a favorite color story, holiday, team, or outfit.
