I'm a cobbler

I have officially finished my shoe from my shoe-making class. Glad to say that I've cobbled! The class was really intense and long, but I'm glad I took it. I can now start an accessories portfolio, along with the leather bag that I'm finishing shortly.

Here are some picture of my shoe in process:

The first step is to tape the last (the yellow thing) and make your patterns. 

Here is a picture of my upper fabric in pieces. It's the 3/4 and 1/4 pattern pieces. This then gets sewn/glued to the lining and is stretched and nailed onto the last. 

Here the lasted shoe. The heel is completely lasted and the lining is lasted down. 

Here is a picture of the same step as above.

Here is the shoe with the attached sole and heel. 

The last step in making the shoe was to add my design piece. I made a fortune teller out of leather to go on the back of the heel. Here is the finished shoe below. 

That was the production of my shoe-making class. There are a billion more pictures, but no need to bore! Look out soon for a post about my bag that I've finished and pictures from my styling project.
