Members Robin Wood Posted May 31, 2015 Members Report Posted May 31, 2015 Tried my luck and used a pattern I found in a book to make myself a pair of ballerinas. Not because I'm particularly fond of this type of shoe but because I wanted to try sewing an upper to a sole without bothering too much with the pattern making to begin with. I didn't dye anything apart from the cut edge of the leather sole, but the edge will definitely need some more attention next time. As proposed in the book, I reinforced cap and heel - and glued a Vibram kind of material under the leather sole. Don't think they're too shabby for a first attempt at kind of a "closed" shoe, but wouldn't mind some second opinions at all Quote
dirtclod Posted May 31, 2015 Report Posted May 31, 2015 I think you did a fine job espically for the first time making them! Quote
