I just posted a new collection of shoemaker shop images and extant shoes from Germany.

You can find it here

Thank you! That's a wonderful resource!

Cool! I had to send the link off to Marc first thing. ;> I don't think he had the image from the Single-Leaf Woodcut set.

Thanks!
Do you make shoes?

I pretend to make shoes. ;>

I have a pair in progress that I actually do intend to finish... (We won't talk about the pair I cut into little bitty bits in a much needed temper tantrum.)

Thus far, I have not succeeded in making a pair, but I've made several trials in felt that haven't worked. The current pattern made comfy fuzzy slippers, so I have hope that I will actually like the new leather ones.

I haven't made a pair of shoes yet, or even slippers. But I hope to soon. *sigh* a few more weeks and school will be done. I'll have a 3 week break. I can hardly wait!
