Weel, I had these pictures for some time and I will share them today.
We are going to see how a loafer tassels is made in a very very simple way, it is very easy. I'm just going to use a sewing machine, the rest of work by hand.
First we prepare the mold, any paper is good.

I'm going to use some calf remains and I'm going to splice them.
I will sew by hand and without checking where the sewing pattern goes.

Next we put the pompadour, the linings and we try it to see how it is.

Now I'm going to cut down the live skin with the blade, I will not use a shaving machine.

Impressive
Thanks Patrick.

Well, let's see another way to make moccasins or loafer tassel, these are made in greased calf, therefore we can not use glue here, but we will sew them by hand inside-out style or blake.
The cut is mounted up.
