Cobbler Skills

Quick question. Have you tried sizing these for yourself or for an adult size? I tried blowing these up in photoshop, scaling the pattern proportionally to fit my shoe size. I cut out the pattern on paper and put it together quickly to get a rough idea of what it may look like, and the proportions seem to be a little big, but it is after all paper so it doesnt mold together as sleekly as leather would. Do you have any tips or suggestions for sizing these up to adult sizes? I have been looking for a mocassin/shoe pattern to try out and these just look amazing! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I haven't tried the adult shoe but I assume it would be similar.

If they needed to be adjusted the key points would probably be sole width and how tall the toe is. The back heel section should stitch up fine no matter what the shoe size. Just adjust the sole to width and the main body toe section to how high you think it needs to be for your feet.

The way the pattern is laid out the key thing here will be sole size. That creates the shape of the shoe and everything else wraps up from there.
