I don't think you have to learn cobbling to design a shoe.
Try searching Custom Shoes on the internet. There are a number of places
that let you design your own shoe and they make it. While none of them
specifically say you can provide the fabric, I would think that they might be

Just a few weeks ago, I decided to clean out the top shelf in a closet.
Everything had been put there when I moved into this (then new) house 16
years ago. Surprise! My old pair of white lace shoes. Surprise! Badly
browned by acid burn damage from the shoe box.

When I got married, (thirty years ago this year - where did all the time
go?), I needed flat shoes as I was recovering from an ankle injury. My
local shoe shop took on the challenge and found me a pair of white tap
shoes. The metal 'taps' were removed from the soles, the shoe laces at

It just occurred to me that perhaps some of you would enjoy the Bata Shoe
Museum in Toronto. Perhaps someone in Toronto will know if this museum
sells books, and if there are books about making shoes. Otherwise, I suggest
that a publisher that specializes in fashions may be a resource to

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.
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

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

I recall many years ago in our couuntry county in Virginia, the Home

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/

I also spotted a course offered in Cincinnatti, Ohio (USA).
