I will make some sandals for the summer. In this, I shall strive to come up with a style that will lend itself to faster sew up times. 

Something like this but just brown not blue!

Do it yourself boots

I have all this leather and have planned to make myself a pair of simple boots. My plans to make an easy "last" of my foot and mold the leather over this. It should not be more complicated than my current process of forming the leather for my foot.  I would not want anything more complicated than this Frye boot. I will probably make them flat without a heel.
