September 17, 2011 Making a flat women’s ballet shoe – pattern tutorial
I decided to make an online pattern making course, but I just realized, that it is too much work to organize the payments (though it would be good now), and the whole administration. So enjoy – free. And thanks for staying with me, even if I am pretty inactive recently.
At the end, you might have something like this:
Let me know, how you can use it! It might inspire me to make more…

Yes, it is very difficult to make patterns online without audio.. Sometime you have to speak to your students…That’s my experience..

Fantastic! Seeing your process has already made me rethink how I was making patterns for low cut shoes. I drew them on the tape and then cut the tape pattern along the topline before removing the tape piece. I have had trouble getting/keeping the topline tight enough in the shoe. Now I see why. If I took the whole side of the tape pattern off together, I would be a lot less likely to get distortion in the tape pattern.
Thank you for the explicit photos. Now i can tackle the ballet shoes on the last I bought from you earlier. This helps a lot as it reduces the number of decisions I need to make, such as the shape of the topline, the height of the heel, etc. Too many decisions bog me down.

Hello
I found out about your blog from one of your YouTube videos; I was wondering where did you get your shoe last from. I have been having a hard time finding shoe last for flat shoes. I would like to start my own line of women’s flat shoes and with my search I have found a few different websites. Are you offering in classes in the New York City area any time soon? Thank you for your help.

Thanks, thats seems very accurate. Not sure about what people look for, but I would like to know about the sole making process. I find anatomical soles the best!
Thanks for share this precious knowledge.

I think that this would be great if you included a bit of an explanation along with the awesome images. I am trying to make ballerina slippers for my daughter, but I can’t understand what all of the pieces are for. I wish that I could use your pattern though, it seems to be the BEST one that I was able to find!
