What is the process of making traditional handmade cloth shoes?
Hand-made healthy cloth shoes step by step The first traditional production process: home textile cotton yarn. Choose high-quality cotton. The cotton thread and cotton cloth used for the soles of cloth shoes are newly harvested cotton in Bailizhou Town, a major cotton-producing town in China, which is known as the "Silver Island". Cotton yarn is spun with a self-made spinning wheel, and hand spinning is different from modern machine spinning. Hand spinning is convenient to check the thickness and toughness of cotton thread, and can adjust the speed and strength in time. Therefore, hand-spun yarn is strong, durable, tough, tensile, beautiful and textured. The second way: home textile cotton rope. Spinning cotton yarn with soil, three strands are combined into cotton rope. The third way: weaving homespun. Spinning cotton yarn with soil and weaving homespun on soil loom are all pure cotton homespun. The fourth way: prepare Yuanbao summer sleeping mat. This is a very important process. Whether the quality of the whole handmade cloth shoes meets the standard has a great relationship with the production of gold ingot floor mats. There are strict requirements for making Yuanbao summer sleeping mat. First, the fresh mat grass of Acer truncatum must be harvested in the early summer morning when the dew is still wet, and then dried, dried, peeled, pressed, compacted, trimmed and woven. The surface is clean and tidy, and the grass leaves are free from mildew, moth and odor. Then it is woven according to the traditional process, and the lines are required to be tight and smooth. It's not a day's work to meet the requirements. Finally, rice flour paste is used to mount special silk paper on the surface of the mat, and finally it is compacted. The fifth way: the sewing sample package is a very important inheritance object. Sample bags are usually kept for hundreds of years. The sample bag is made of homespun, and there are many interlayers in the bag, which is convenient for placing the good shoes. The sixth way: take a bottom sample. According to the size of the sole, draw samples on the silk paper and the paved homespun of the finished product of the gold ingot floor mat, without leaving shapes. The seventh way: Bao Yuanbao's summer sleeping mat. Wrap the cut gold ingot cushion with fine earth cloth and wrap it with cotton thread to keep the shape. Eighth Road: Fill in Melody House. Brand the shoes with three layers of pure cotton homespun of the same size, then wrap the edges with homespun cut into diagonal strips, then stack these wrapped foundations one by one, and wrap the shoes with homespun strips between layers, and then make them with homespun cotton. Must be neat and clean, the number of layers shall not be less than 25, and there shall be no folds between cloth layers. There must be room for trimming the bottom edge, and it must be smooth and flat. The uniqueness of BBK Melaleuca is that it not only has exquisite fabrics, exquisite workmanship, dense and beautiful thick layers, but also is neat and clean. More importantly, it adds a layer of wrapped gold ingot cushion interlayer to the traditional practice. Ninth: undercut. Trim the interlayer of Melaleuca's floor cloth with scissors along the edge of the wrapped ingot pad. The tenth way: the bottom of the bag is round. Wrap the cut Melaleuca with pure cotton homespun. Eleventh: lock the bottom. When locking the bottom, keep the sole clean. The lines must be crossed, evenly spaced, and the force should be appropriate. The surface of the sole should not be uneven. The bottom of the sole is made by the locking process, which requires two steel needles to put on cotton thread, one of which passes through the sole but is not completely pulled out, exposing the upper half of the needle, and then the other steel needle passes through the sole completely. This needle is wound around the first needle for two weeks. Pull out the first needle and tighten the cotton threads of the two steel needles. The cotton threads of the two steel needles pass through the sole in the opposite direction, and then repeat this process to make the whole sole sharp. In this way, the tapered shoes are more wear-resistant. When the thread comes out after wearing for a long time, you only need to cut the thread with scissors, because the special locking process will not make the whole sole off the thread, and the shoes are still strong. Twelfth way: lock the edge. When locking the edge, do not go out of shape, the stitches are arranged neatly, and there can be no distortion. Pass the needle and thread through the edge of the sole, pull back the thread, pass through the edge of the sole once, wrap the needle and thread around the exposed cotton thread for three times, then pass through the edge of the sole once, pass through the original three times with the needle and thread in turn, make a knot once, pass through the sole once, and tie the cotton thread tightly. This is the process of fine lock edge reinforcement. Road 13: the bottom of the bubble. Soak the finished soles with Chinese herbal medicines. Its main raw materials are more than a dozen Chinese herbal medicines such as Cortex Phellodendri, Huang Cen, Flos Caryophylli, Flos Carthami, Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, Cortex Dictamni Radicis, Borneolum Syntheticum, Asari, Fructus Cnidii, Herba Ephedrae and Herba Menthae. These Chinese herbal medicine liquids are mainly developed for disinfecting shoes and preventing foot skin diseases such as tinea pedis. They have no toxic side effects, and can promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue. The fourteenth way: boring the bottom. Cover the soaked soles with a quilt. The fifteenth road: the bottom of the hammer. Sandalwood hammer is used to flatten the sole, making the sole soft and more comfortable to wear after becoming a shoe. The sixteenth way: lay the foundation. Spread high-quality cotton on the soles and sew interlining. Article 17: Draw the upper. The fabric is mainly 100% wool, and the lining and special interlining are cotton. The fabric and interlining are first covered with polished rice paste, and then the reverse side is bonded with special interlining. After air drying, draw a pattern on the paved vamp as required, and it is required not to go out of shape. Article 18: Sewing uppers. After air drying, cut off the excess parts of the sample, and then sew it first. Sewing is very important. Keep it straight when walking in a straight line. When turning a corner, you should bend the needle, not twist it. The roll cloth and the edge strip must be tightly pressed, and there should be no looseness or wrinkle when sewing the edge. At the same time, keep the rubber strip clean. Road 19: shoes. After the sole and upper are made separately, they are called shoes when they are connected again. When the upper is closed, the seam is called open; The part contained in the suture is called dark spot. Gradually adopt traditional hand sewing. The shoes made by this method can't see the stitches, and the shoes are more stiff and full. You won't see the pinholes on the whole edge of the shoes, so the shoes are more beautiful. When upping, we should grasp the matching scale of the vamp and sole, the stitch distance should not be too large, the stitches should not be skewed, and the left and right sides of the vamp should be aligned and should not exceed the edge of the shoe. Lane 20: Last. A good pair of shoes must be shaped by a shoe last, which is made of wood and aluminum. ) Tuck it into cloth shoes and let the shoes hold up inside. The specifications of the shoe last must be consistent with the size of the shoes, so that the shoe last will be beautiful and fit. At the same time, it is also a strict inspection to test whether our shoes are made according to a standard. Twenty-first: Chinese medicine fumigation. Put the shoe last in a traditional Chinese medicine fumigator for 3-4 hours. There are more than a dozen Chinese herbal medicines in the traditional Chinese medicine fumigator, and the last one is dried. Track 22: Quality Inspection and Packaging. Clean the fumigated shoes with a brush, remove the foreign matter on the vamp and sole, and check the appearance of the shoes, such as the sewing of soles and uppers, shoe last, etc. If the quality is found to be deficient, it will be deemed unqualified and should be returned for processing. Qualified finished products are labeled with numbers and sizes, stamped with qualified seals, and placed with maintenance cards, desiccants and anthelmintic pills, which are packed in packaging boxes.
