The reason I started this blog is to inspire you to try new fabrics, textures, mediums, and techniques in your shoe making projects. I'll share what I make and ask you about what your making. It would be great if we could swap ideas and inspire each other!
So let's start now! I'm working on a new, sleeker looking ballet flat with a pointed toe and a variety of easy add-on options to change the entire look. I'm currently working on about eight pairs of these. I have them all traced out and now I just need to cut them out and sew them together. I'll share the finished shoes as I go.
I must say I'm most excited about the patchwork fabric on the top. It's called Enchino Fall 2011 and it can be found here on Etsy here. It's a medium-weight Japanese fabric that is 55% linen and 45% cotton.
