Hi Spiders,
I'm working with Guetterman silk thread and I have trouble with knots and
tying off. The knots, although hearing the little click when making it,
seems to open up after several tugs.
When tying off at the end I have a feeling that the knots are not firmly
done and would open up
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
open to
I think it was David in Ballarat who suggested a way to deal with knotting
the ends of silk threads, which seems to work well for me.
He uses a variation on a reef (square) knot:
1 left over right, but go over a second time before tightening the knot up
2 right over left
3 left over right
Hi All
When my daughter got married last year, she made sure her shoes were FLAT!!
As a wedding photographer she sees so many brides in agony before the end of
their big day, she made sure she remembered the day and NOT the agony!!
As for me I wore platform clogs back in the '60/70's
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.
Flay this known lace
If you think the fabric could take it, I'd be tempted to dye them something
fab.

When I got married I tried to find flat shoes for two reasons; firstly because
I was going to be on my feet for a long time and secondly, I'm two inches
taller than my husband.
Even though I found a pair with just an inch heel,
in all our photos I'm a good 4 inches taller. 2inches from my
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

Hello All,
I wonder whether any of you can help me with some information.
Since October 2010, I have been attending the University of Malta to work
towards a Diploma in Lace Studies and am now in the final steps. I do very
much want to carry on with a Bachelors' Degree in this subject, but
Hello All! Thank you Brenda for posting about the shoe making classes. What
a great idea AND theoretically you would get a pair that fit! My size (6.5
slim) is practically non-existant any more as all the companies rush to make
wide sizes. None of the hand made shoe sites offered widths, so
Have done it, and my mother had covered hers with elaborate brocade to match a
two piece cocktail set that I noted as a child.
The sole needs to be removed
from the vamp, either pulled away, or perhaps an Xacto knife (exactingly, and
about 1/4). The lace needs to be tucked between the two,

Wish my hands were steady enough to do something like that. Nowadays I can't
even manage eyeliner at all and eye makeup irritates my eyes.

It's probably just as well!! I think this make-up is definitely meant
for a very young woman! Most of us would look silly trying to pull it
off!! But daggone, it's pretty!!

It is lovely, but it would take some 'bravery' to try!
of course the good thing about getting older is it's a fine excuse for being a
