I made some changes to adapt the pattern and directions for fabric instead of paper. These shoes require a lot of hand sewing and can take about 3 hours to make, but it is so fun to get to choose and use your fancy fabrics, trims, laces and beads and buttons!
If anyone is interested, I can post my directions.
I haven't blogged for a long time. I don't do too much stichery nowadays, but am hoping to get back to it. I have become involved with starting a new nonprofit affiliate of Family Promise, to help the homeless children in my area. Every night when I crawl into my comfy warm bed, I think of those children and their families who don't have a bed and have to sleep outside in the cold and wetness. These families hide, afraid that their children will be taken away from them. I volunteered to write grants, although I have no experience in this, and it is taking up a lot of time. (Anyone have any tips for me?) Once we open our affiliate, eventually it will be someone else's job to do the grant-writing. But I will still stay very involved - I just can't forget about the children...
Happy Stitching,
Lin Moon
