I recently took the Fabulous Flats 2 day course and it was awesome! I loved every minute and am so excited about having learned the skills to design and make my own shoes. Thank you for the great teaching.

Those of you who know me, will already know how pa

Those of you who know me, will already know how passionate I am about sharing my love for home shoemaking, my main aim for the past 10 years has been to make this craft accessible for people by running classes in my London workshop! 😀 And if you're wondering where my passion came from, its simple, I just created something that I would have loved to have access to when I was starting out in the world of shoes - so basically I started this community for 19 year old me... lol⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last year, to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of I Can Make Shoes, I published my book titled 'A Beginners Guide to Home Shoemaking' which sold out twice in the first 6 months (I'm very proud of this and not at all humble about it 😂! ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THEN, earlier this year I filmed my class curriculum and put it into a super detailed Online Course which is also titled 'A Beginners Guide to Home Shoemaking' and the response has been incredible 💥! !⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The course covers everything you need to know to make your own shoes from home and to prove how possible it is to do from home, I actually packed up a basic kit and filmed the whole thing from my living room. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aaaaannyway - Home shoemaking is fun and TOMORROW (Friday 23rd of October) AT 11AM (GMT) I'll be going LIVE to do a Q&A for our Online Course students, feel free to join us and have a nosey 👀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also we've got a special offer running at the moment where the Online Course actually comes with a FREE shoemaking kit (worldwide shipping available) so if you've been thinking about it, there's no time like now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Link in bio if you want to learn more 😉 See you inside the course. 👋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is such a perfect example of a subtle detail that can be used across multiple designs to make it a cohesive collection. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Great job Hilary! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

These sandals were made last month by Maree (@mareechristini) during our 3 day shoemaking course. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maree had seen some other shoes we'd done out of this material and asked if we had any left, we only had a very small amount but she perfectly managed to squeeze a whole pair of shoes out of it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They turned out so well, great job Maree. 🖤 🐊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm actually in the process of filming our Boot making Online Course at the moment so have been having a look through the archives to get some ideas. I've done a similar style to this one but as a pull-on boot (no zip). the measurements can get a little complicated when doing a pull on boot as you need to make sure there is enough space to get your foot in and out, but don't worry I've done two other styles with zips (including a knee-high boot) so you'll still learn how to put them in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm hoping to have this boot course ready to launch on the 1st of November - if you want to watch the behind the scenes, I've been updating my stories daily 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
