Here’s the shaper for the left foot showing the butt stitching at the heel. It’s not the most perfect but it certainly does the job. I’ve got some more stitching, trimming and skiving to do before I can start assembling the shoe. The other shaper hasn’t been butt stitched. I stitched one before shaping it over the last. The second I left unstitched. This will tell me which works best, stitching it wet or stitching it dry.
I want to do this!
Did you post how you made your lasts or how you moulded the leather?
I didn’t. My son made the lasts out of resin. If you keep reading through my cordwaining posts you’ll see all the related information.
Thanks Nori! I’ll look in cordwaining!
