simple shoemaking: Part One: How to make the simplest twobees

I designed these simple shoes to be made and worn in areas where children - and adults - are exposed to parasitic diseases through their bare feet. These shoes have motorcycle or wide bicycle inner tube soling, and leather or fabric uppers. The only other things needed to make them are a sewing machine screwdriver with 1/8" wide tip for making stitching slits, a big-eye-blunt-tipped sewing needle, and sturdy thick thread. They can be made in any size and worn anywhere by anybody! This is the simplest way to become a shoemaker, and there are many ways to embellish the uppers to make your twobees unique!
