He's done quite good, though they're not, by any stretch, easy. Foot fitting is apparently up there with pants fitting but without the nice resources for helping. Still, it's coming together well. Mine shoes are also in progress but, unfortunately, not at a point where they're very photographic.<BR/><BR/>And to answer your question, Lory - they do come with soles of a sort. You're supposed to use leather or suede for the shoes and it seems to give you the option of cutting out and gluing or sewing on a thicker leather sole. What I mean by that is that there's no directions to do that, per say, but included with patterns are an outline of the finished sole which would be very easy to add yourself. I want a bit more between me and the ground so I'm going to pick up some thin flip flops tomorrow and glue them on with some industrial level glue. Ok, it's not ACTUALLY industrial glue but it's pretty bonding stuff. :)Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08684782126018185634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32089616.post-29683331811111003172009-03-29T19:19:00.000-07:002009-03-29T19:19:00.000-07:00I had no idea that there were patterns out there f...I had no idea that there were patterns out there for shoes! Qu;ick ?, does this pattern have a sole of sorts? Or do you have a regular shoe underneath and the pattern shoe goes over it as a cover? I'm curious now. :)<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>LoryLoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09287646186137786342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32089616.post-590292628804797172009-03-29T15:29:00.000-07:002009-03-29T15:29:00.000-07:00I love that shoe pattern.
