I wanted to make a pair of shoes out of patent red leather (found a scrap in my stash). Then I thought, I have the platforms from the Volks shoes in red, good, good. Then I wanted to make them like the espadrilles I made in Denim for Agnes. I was in my daughter's closet (She asked me to mail her some stuff to NY as it's getting cold there). Then I spied them, I'm sure I must have had them in my subconscious when I made the Denim espadrilles! There were a pair of old red espadrilles.
Here are the denim espadrilles
Now that I see the red ones, I'm going to change the direction of the rope on the red pair. I can't believe I have red patent leather. (I'm pretty sure this was one of my old New York trip finds).
I removed the uppers from the soles yesterday by boiling. Now I have red soles.
I then put on the leather:
I closed the toe and then I added the rope detail
sorry for the out of focus shot
