Victoria, studio manager at I Can Make Shoes and I Can Make Bags, made these gorgeous metallic court shoes to wear as a wedding guest. Here's how they turned out:

To make these shoes, Victoria drew her own custom pattern onto the last. We teach you how to make your own patterns in the Online Course. She then used this pattern to cut out her uppers and linings. She then stitched together her uppers and linings and begun the lasting process.

She then used a cork sheet to create a flat surface to attach the resin soling. She then glued up the surface, ready to attach the sole.

Victoria then also created an insock pattern and cut out her insocks to go inside the shoes.
