Mentorship update from Florencia’s studio

We started by figuring out a pattern using cardboard and weaving strips of paper. Then we covered the whole shape in a LOT of tape and then drew on top of this to figure out how many pieces we needed to cut. Then we laid these pieces on top of muslin and cut two of each set out for one pair of shoes.

Then we learned how to use the sewing machine and sewed the front and back together leaving a little hole for the stuffing. Then we took scraps of old fabric and stuffed the parts. Once we had the parts we now hand sewed them together!

Here is a video with a step by step process as well:)
