I realize that this video is seven years old but I’m pumped that I found it. Finally a shoe pattern I can follow. You’re the best and obviously know what you are doing based upon how easily you explained it. Turn shoes here I come!
This is so cool. Thank you! Making a pair of ladies Mary Rose shoes using your patterning technique. Still deciding between a leather or wool upper. I’m quite comfortable working with wool, but new to working with leather. The some will definitely be leather though!
Preenchi formulário, PAGUEI , DEI MEU DINHEIRO e até agora nada de nada. Voces me pediram mais dinheiro. Gora do acordo primeiro. Aí pedi meu dinheiro de volta e nada, até agora! Não foram sérios comigo não. E então, vão zo menos responder. Ao menos por delicadeza......quero o que é meu por direito!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you are still active lol. But I have a problem when trying to make a boot style. Every time I lay the pattern down on paper it bundles up on the heel an when I flatten it. It will bundle on the top part
Greets from Germany! I thankful to the Great Mother, that I found your video! Germans are hoarding those Infos, if some wants to make medieval turnshoes be himself! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Lovely and clear. I have just watched seven videos before yours, and you are the only one who explains how to make sure the sewing holes align. Thanks you for sharing
So if you have one foot that's bigger than the other, I'm guessing it would be best to make two separate patterns? My right foot and leg is about 1/2 inch bigger than my left. I've measured both feet to make sure.
i am so happy i found this video. that stitching method is amazing! i have some leather laying around and i just decided today i wanted to make a bunch of shoes out of it all. i have an awl already, i just need some artificial sinew, a needle and that stitch wheel. i have a tandy leather near me so, i know i can get all of those things easily. i'm not so sure about the crepe rubber soles? but i am good at googling, i'll figure it out. =^-^=
My feet are different sizes... so Im guessing Im better off making a pattern for both? And thank you for the video. Might I suggest increasing the volume(sound). As is I have my cell on max volume and I can juuust make out what you are sayin. Regardless I agree with the other comments... thank you so very deeply.
Amazing work and video. I’m picking up some water buffalo leather today and will work on a pair this weekend. FYI - I’ve made suede mukluks already and have found that it’s very helpful to count the number of stitches around the sole and space the holes on the upper just a tad bit more so that you have the same number of stitches on the sole as on the upper. This eliminates the need for any gathers in the back.
I'd say about a quarter-inch, the same as the spacing between the holes for the thread, or thereabout, if you look at 12:26. The tunnel skives I've used don't generally have a marker on how far the skive is extended, so that's probably what he shot for, if it did end up being just a smidge longer.
First saw this video about a year ago. Was totally surprised to see Fred in here....I see him at work almost daily. But I never knew he was a famous foot model!
I know this is an older video but it's the best I've found so far. You did a great job on this and the pattern making video. If you don't mind me asking, how much leather and what weight did you use? I'm looking to make a pair of boots that are similar in construction and I was thinking of 4-5oz for the upper and 9-10 oz for the sole. I'm also planning on making pattens to match. I need the boots first though.
that was water buffalo and about 1/4 in thick because it is so thing i use the flesh stitch. the oz you listed should work but be sure to get leather with as little stretch as possible
This really a neat stitch, but I'm confused as to what you are making there, also the slow motion jumping was really distracting, I'd love to see more of your leatherwork!
Great video, thank you for taking the time to explain your process. I have a question for you - You used an insole to help keep the bottom of the shoe flat when making the pattern. After you have completed making the shoes, do you put the insole back inside of the shoe for comfort or is it just used for making the pattern?
I now made myself a pair of shoes after your instructions, i am really very pleased with the result, but the sole is very slippery, is there any ting i can do about that?
Octar lj Sorry. I'm from Sweden so I can't do that. But maybe there's a good Web page explaining flesh stitch? I've google but haven't found any that resembles what you did.
