When I came back from New York, somehow I had the’ fixa idea’ that I want to make a moccasin. So I teached Melinda (my pattern designer and apprentice) how to make the pattern (not easy at all, I can tell you), and we started a moccasin project. Here is the first few pics about the result.
Looks like the way it was made is very well done…This shoes has good quality…It was sewed very well…nice one…^_^
Nice shoes !!
But what is fun , is that decoration. It’s the same that Marie did on her ballerinas!
Tell my greetings to Melinda and Erika!
-iisa:)
I will little girl! Take care
I just read your moving post on “How I became a shoemaker” completely by chance. I respect you hugely for your determination to revive a great craft tradition. It is a union of Art & Technology, definitely a higher calling than being a cog in the corporate machine.
good work!
Marcell, can you tell about pattern making for mocassins? mini tutorial…
Yes, please explain the pattern making process
it looks quite difficult to do, but its worth the time when you learn and see the finished product
