Saxon Shoes


Hello,

This project was withheld from being posted until after my sister's birthday, given that they were her present. The shoe pattern was based off of the one found here.

These shoes took only two days to completely form, but a little longer to make the laces and coat it in a lard/wax mixture.

And now pictures:

Here's the pattern cut out:



This is the heel seam, half-sewn:



And fully sewn:



This is the back seam sewn up:



This is the toe seam:



Here is the pair sewn completely and turned:







I could have sworn I had a picture of the finished shoes by themselves. However, here is a picture of them finished on the recipient's feet:



They fit perfectly. I feel good about them.
