April 17, 2013 Wingtip Derby II. – Pattern Tutorial
This is something, what I teach in the first few classes. Almost the same for every pattern – raise the counter and move in 3-3 millimeters, but the leather can change that). The other line is for lining – a bit more in as that takes less material.
After smoothing the curves I copy the medial lines.
I averaged them, but careful! You can’t do it with every last! The tongue is together with the vamp on the same axis. You need to pivot it down – it will anywhere anyway as it is very narrow.
All the lines are clear, the unnecessary ones erased – ready to make the pattern pieces.
Here they are. Only one step left – make a specification sheet. Copy ALL the visible lines to a piece of paper and make all the stitch lines, brogues, etc + specifications on it, so your upper maker on the other side of the ocean will understand them.

I would like to learn this craft the old fashioned way, to follow it as a profession. I would apprentice if anyone would accept apprentices any more, but I think one must take a course instead. Are your courses more for hobbyists or would they suit my aims? Thank you for any advice you might have.

Hi, I wish to be able to offer apprentice positions, but it is just impossible for me. The only way now – if you want to learn from me: courses. That is actually a pretty good basic for later studies, and you never know.. If I ever choose an apprentice, I will choose people I know.
