Does anyone know how to make rope soled sandals or where to find a pattern? I picked up on the idea from a book I'm reading and now I've got the idea in my head. I found several sites that sell them and a couple of poor patterns and instructions. Any help on this would be appreciated.

An other name for the "rope shoes" = espadrilles

in google: espadrilles how to make

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espadrilles

http://www.maunesabaters.com/page7a.html => when you click on the photo's you can see some detail of the soles.

It could be an interesting test to try and make them.
The more skills one has, the better.
I'd like see a report with photo's on the forum (if you can)

However you can buy them in Belgium for 0.50 EUR to 2.00 EUR for a basic standard pair.
(unless it's a very fancy pair you want => then the sky is the limit).
I don't know if you can find them locally.

One word of warning: they don't like wet conditions.
