Shoes Day 1

Today I modified my final design since we didn't have any white matte leather like we were told so I have changed my idea to a far simpler idea with just a bar down the front instead of a disk of any kind. We then masking taped up our lasts and cut them in half and put them onto paper to make our patterns. We then did a mean forme of our shoe which was the average and designed out patterns on there. We then traced off our designs into pattern pieces using bradl's and then added on the necessary seam allowances and then cut out our pieces of leather so that on Wednesday we can finish our shoe!
