The only review that currently comes to mind about making shoes is SewVeryTall's. ------ http://sweetnotions.blogspot.com/

These are some of the shoes we made. There is also a shoemaking course in NYC but I've never taken it. ------ "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Coco Chanel Stash Sewn in 2011 148.5 Yds Stash Sewn in 2012.... counting... http://adonising.blogspot.com

DH said I couldn't start this as a hobby too, BTW. I guess a sewing room and a shoe making room would be too much for him. Also you can google shoe making and get lots of websites. -- Edited on 9/12/11 12:28 PM -- ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in.

I found that the Loomis book and some others (with more of a variety, and flats, which are my usual) were in my library's system. I didn't have time to take it up but someday. If you like slippers, this pattern is very nice. I keep meaning to write a review, as I've made regular slippers and morphed it with a Butterick historical footwear pattern for costume use. ------ Jeanne "Let me live in a world of image and I will never complain." --Louise Bourgeois
Re Becca   Intermediate TX USA Member since 9/12/05 Posts: 2132	Login to reply to this post In reply to Sauvage Like this post Date: 9/18/11 9:54 PM I have the book by Mary, and she makes it look very easy. I started to start a pair, but I have a suprisingly difficult time finding heels and soles in this modern age. Go figure, I thought you could buy anything on the world wide web. It just takes more focus and concentration than I have right now... Really, I can't find heels and soles that I like and I can't bring myself to tear apart one of the pairs that I like. But, I now have a pair of Brightons that I really need to let go of, and may take apart for copying. ------ http://beccabeckstuff.blogspot.com/ Damn the muslin, full speed ahead!
