Great Book - Make Your Own Shoes by Mary Wales Loomis

For the last several weeks, I’ve been dreaming of shoes - shoes (and boots) with knitted uppers. Not slippers. Chic footwear with heels!!!! That’s what I want to make.

And today, I received in the mail a great book: “Make Your Own Shoes” by Mary Wales Loomis. She takes you through all of the steps of making your own shoes (as the title suggests). But what really impressed me as I looked through it was her clarity and attention to step-by-step instructions.

I’m really looking forward to getting started on my first pair of shoes. I’m expecting it to be a challenge. But a fun one.
