Two years ago I made shoes for my birthday!! My second pair. I spent a couple of days back at The Shoe College with Tamera Lyndsay to make my birthday shoes. We dubbed them "Bettie Cleaver's" since the fabrics used had a naughty & nice twist reminding us of June Cleaver and Bettie Page.

| The sketch, where it all starts. |
 |
| Patterns were made, leather cut, as the process starts rolling. |
 |
| Sweet birds for June & naughty patent leather for Bettie! |
 |
| Coming together nicely.... |
 |
| Wrapping & Tacking. |
 |
| Too cute. Coming together brilliantly. |
 |
| Vamp, Straps, & Counter have been tacked and glued. |
 |
| Kinda lookin' like a shoe.... |
 |
| Cinderella.... They fit! Whew! I need a pedicure though. ;) |
Another fun filled shoemaking experience complete! Thanks again to Tamera for being my shoe guru and helping me get closer to my dream.
Seriously, I can't wait to design and create shoes everyday. Hopefully this blog will follow me through my schooling in London, everybody keep your fingers crossed!
