WhitneyHendrickson Report post Posted September 4, 2017 I'm in search of the books Bespoke Shoemaking by Tim Skyrme and/or Step by Step Pattern Cutting edited by Frank Jones. Anyone know who sells these? Bespoke is sold by Walrus Shoe but prefer the Pattern making one...can't find it anywhere! Would love some help with this. Thanks everyone!

Aven Report post Posted September 4, 2017 I ordered mine from Tim. Don't know what the exchange rate is right now, but last year I paid about 15 ~ 20 % less than asking price because of the exchange rate. It took about 3 ~ 4 weeks for the books to arrive. I ordered three of his books, one at a time. It was an easy transaction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhitneyHendrickson Report post Posted September 5, 2017 Thanks! I'll go ahead and order it from Tim. Can I ask, do you feel like there's adequate information for women's cowgirl boots? I'm somewhat hesitate to buy because often these materials are primarily for men's footwear. 7 hours ago, Aven said: I ordered mine from Tim.

Aven Report post Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) The Step by Step has a pull on boot, but its more of a Wellington, as I know it, than a cowboy boot. You might be better served with a different source. Check out Lisa Sorrell's Notions and Findings site. She has a notebook/DVD combo. Definitely more spendy, but cheaper than a one on one class and comparing the two books is like comparing apples and oranges. Lisa is all about the cowboy boots.

Wow I'd love Lisa's book but price isn't something I can do at this point. I suppose I'll just get the two from Tim and hope it has what I need! Thank you so much for the insight. You've been very helpful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
