I am working from an old booklet called "SHOE SHORTAGE" from around the time of the First World War, where everything was scarce and people had to use whatever resources they had at hand. You can download it from the button in the sidebar of this blog - it is in German, but I am working through it step by step, or rather: post by post, explaining everything...
And here are my posts about making shoes so far:
Hello - I want to learn to make shoes & appreciate you sharing the Shoe Shortage pdf; however, the sound does not come through very well on several of the videos. I am watching via YouTube. So very happy you posted them.
ReplyDeleteHi and thank you very much for your feedback! I wonder if it might be a problem with your player? Nobody else seems to be having that problem... I will look into it, thanks again for telling me!
ReplyDeleteHello Katja: I am so happy to have found your blog. I love what you do and I'm especially interested in making shoes. The shoes you made in London are EXQUISITE! I hope you are very proud of yourself for doing such an excellent job. Thank you for posting the old booklet on making house-shoes. I have wanted to make some "house-boots" for a time – this is a great inspiration for me with lots of technical information which I need. I've been trying to figure out how to make sturdy soles and now you've done all those great tutorials which will help me.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you purchase the leather for your "London shoes"?
Brava!
I also love the re-purposed T-shirts. Your dresses are delightful.

Hello Barbara!
DeleteWell thank you so much for your comment! You are most welcome - I hope to have time soon for many more shoe-posts, but time is always so limited... ;-) I bought my leather at a leather store in Vienna, after quite some research online. I have no idea where you live, but if you are not in a big city, you can also find leather to order online, or on ebay. I also bought a big box of left-over leather on ebay which is also suitable for shoes - you actually don't need huge amounts for a pair of shoes, so scraps are fine!
Best,
Katja
