Re: [lace] Lace trimmed shoes
I was at a wedding last weekend where nearly all the young women were wearing those atrocities (shoe style, not the lace!) and a few 40-something's with the Demi Moore Syndrome were also staggering around in them. I know their feet will give them serious problems way earlier than usual, but of course they only think of fashion, and think they'll be young forever. The smarter ones had kicked off their shoes before dinner started! Clay Sent from my iPad On Mar 2, 2012, at 2:49 AM, J D Hammett jdhamm...@msn.com wrote: Hi Arachnids, Nice to see lace on shoes.

Re: [lace] Lace trimmed shoes
Hi Clay and everybody else: Some years ago a woman from Singapore (I think) came to my needle arts guild and brought her hand-embroidered shoes for Show 'n Tell. I thought they'd be like Sherlock Holmes' persian slippers, but no, they were proper professionally made leather-soled 2 heels. Where she came from a woman showed her embroidery skill by embroidering fabric which she then took them to a shoe-making service that backed the embroidery and then fashioned it into the upper part of the shoe. I think it was kind of like making a trousseau - you weren't ready to be married until you'd finished your shoes. I'm wondering if that sort of service is available in North America, because I think we could really start a fashion for making your own lace shoes, and not just for weddings. Anybody know?

Re: [lace] Lace trimmed shoes
By August, I should have a much better idea about shoemaking, as the inter-disciplinary group (Women's Journeys in Fiber) to which I belong has assigned shoes as our project for this year. Last year's theme was aprons, and was the first year I had time to belong to the group. Next week our exhibit opens for 10 days at Chicago's Navy Pier, as part of the Flower and Garden show there. So far I have a form to work on, and an idea to work with, and we'll see if it's technically possible when I get started on it! http://www.womensjourneysinfiber.com/ Sue sueba...@comcast.net I'm wondering if that sort of service is available in North America, because I think we could really start a fashion for making your own lace shoes, and not just for weddings.

Re: [lace] Lace trimmed shoes
I know it is available, but I'm not sure exactly where. In needlepoint shops everywhere, they have painted canvases which can be made into slippers or shoes after being worked. I suspect that it's a matter of finding a cobbler who does more than just replacing heels and soles. I just did a web search on shoe cobbling and came up with a number of sites that mention learning to make shoes. So custom shoes can be made if one can just find the shoemaker!

Re: Re: [lace] Lace trimmed shoes
I recall many years ago in our couuntry county in Virginia, the Home Demonstration Club had a class? project? or whatever that they were covering opera pumps with fabric. My mother had had polio so couldn't wear pumps but did cover a pair of her old ladies comforts. It was a situation of sanding the finish off the shoe, covering it with glue, stretching the bias fabric over the glued surface, and trimming with an Xacto knife around the crevice where the leather meets the sole. If I recall they covered the heel as well. Why not use the same technique with lace? Happy lacemaking,Betty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia USA who cannot wait until June when we'll be at Sweet Briar for Lace!!!

Re: [lace] Lace trimmed shoes
Yes, there are courses - in London, San Francisco and Melbourne - but not exactly cheap!. Have a look at the Prescott and Mackay website http://www.prescottandmackay.co.uk/ then click on the shoemaking section - and look at the video. Although there's no lace being used I'm sure it could be!
