Inspired


I just recently saw this post about some diy leather purses that are really cute, but in that post she mentions her use of the leather years ago and I got so inspired I decided to make Sophie some shoes!
I didn't have any leather on hand and we do not live super close to a craft/fabric store, so I decided to go to a thrift store to find some leather or faux leather.

I found 2 bags (the pink snake skin is real leather from a Liz Claiborne purse, and the other is just a faux leather gold purse).

So, I stripped the bags of the outer fabric.

Then I used a pair of Sophie's shoes as the basic shape and created a pattern altering it by the pictures I could see from the blog post.

Here's how they turned out.
