Just another WordPress.com site. October 20, 2013. I know you probably don’t want to hear from me. But I’m hurting. Bad. I can’t seem to stop crying. And I can’t seem to stop loving you. Each day has been a hurdle. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve picked up the phone or started an email, just to delete it. I have no heart left. Is my soul gone with it too? Did it skip town when my heart died? Did you take it? Did I leave it at your door? May I have it back? If I could go back, I’d hold on! I’m ...

midnightsthreads – Midnight's Threads
https://midnightsthreads.wordpress.com/author/midnightsthreads
Sewing adventures around the midnight hour. June 14, 2016. I’ve wondered, and assumed there was a reason why shoes weren’t flat across bottom. This is given as an example of the right amount. Something I’ll keep in mind as I start my designing. 😀. June 13, 2016. June 13, 2016. I wish I’d grabbed pictures, but I didn’t. I helped two other people with making pants, and made a pair of ridiculous orange pants for another crewmate. New (to me) Knot! June 6, 2016. How does it work for you? May 16, 2016. 8211;...

Shoemaking – Midnight's Threads
https://midnightsthreads.wordpress.com/2016/05/12/shoemaking
Sewing adventures around the midnight hour. May 12, 2016. May 12, 2016. While I do want to go to shoe school (in particular Bonney and Wills. I’m having to face the facts that we don’t have the income right now to do it, and while I know I have options to take a loan out to pay for school, I’m not ready to actually have that debt. So, the next level of things that I’d like is the Bespoke Shoemaking book. Which seems a bit spendy, but I did just see someone make this post in the facebook shoemaking forum.

Just another WordPress.com site. Monthly Archives: March 2011. March 6, 2011. About 5 or 6 years ago, I lived in Wichita, KS. I LOVED it! I lived in a loft in Old Town, and outside the building door was a movie theater, to the left was a wine bar, across the way restaurants, more bars, and the next block over a few dance clubs and more bars. It was a single person’s dream! Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found. In my dismay, I thought… “I’m make it myself! I’d be interested in hearing from you. And a...

The rough edge gave me an opportunity to learn about edge finishing. The insole on this baby is another piece of lighter weight leather. Between the 2 pieces and the heel, I was able to learn to bevel edges, sand and burnish edges. I got to experiment with my Dremel tool which proved to be a life saver. August 30, 2016.
