Dear iowa_boy,

this past week I was kicked out of my house by my hot swedish wife. She through out most of my stuff, so I lost parts of my dance outfit, including my moc's. It's been a while since I had time to powwow, but it looks like I have some time now. I need to make some moc's, any ideas or thoughts on moc making? Make sure you bring your A game.

Thanks for the email T! Sorry to hear about your hot swedish wife, but hey, I'm sure you will land on your moccasin-less feet. So, about those mocs.

The standard "Cheyenne-style hard sole" moc is still the style, although is doesn't have to have a hard sole anymore. What people have are mocs with an upper and a sole, made out of different stuff. For example, some people use a natural hide for the upper, deer, elk, etc. Others use canvas or other strong material. Soles are made of a rawhide or of a tanned hide. Decoration is still beadwork. Some dancers go through soles so fast that they don't attach them the traditional way (sewing inside out and turning) but just sew them on the outside. does that help?
