Artisanal Leather Shoemaking for Beginners

“We have traveled a very nice path to make your first sandals. I hope you really enjoyed the process! Now let's review the key phases of the project. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Measurements Follow the steps I gave you in the unit "Getting to know the workshop" to get the measurements of the foot, either yours or someone else's.

It is also highly recommended to work on the packaging to present your sandal to the world. Now share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I am looking forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It sure is very enriching!”

At the beginning I have taught you the anatomy of the foot to know what to take into account to design our shoe. We have seen the last, the role it plays and the different types there are. Then I have taught you to take the measurements of the foot. You can do with yours or someone else's. Then I made the sketch and the model of our design.
