Ok so not sewing but still being creative!

I've recently just finished the summer term at my new school and I'm still alive!Yay!
To celebrate I went down to London to visit one of my lovely ladies,Ally, who has moved there with one of my other lovely ladies, Cat, to celebrate her new job so as a treat we went on a sandle making workshop where we would design and make our own sandles! This was at www.icanmakeshoes.com


After getting lost and dealing with rain (typical English weather) we got there and the creativity began!

 Making flowers for the front of her sandles.

 Cutting out all the lovely leather and suede for her sandles.

Final stage of gluing the soles onto the sandles so that we can wear them!

Ally's sandles- light brown suede soles with two tone brown leathers for the straps with a 3 tone leather plait for extra detail.
Gorgeous!

Cat's sandles- dark blue suede sole with yellow leather straps and buckle, with goregous blue checked flowers on the front! Cat definitly wanted flowers on hers and they look fab!

My sandles- Pink suede sole with brown and leather cross over straps at the front with a Tbar. There are three straps up the back to meet my ankle strap which are 2 brown with a pink strap in the middle.
Not sure why I picked these colours as I have no clothes but just thought the colours looked really good together.







Lovely day which ment we thought about this and nothing else. We all said we left all our worries and stresses behing and just focused on these which was brilliant and we all have gorgeous sandles as a result!
