Shoes updated

Whilst finally getting my summer shoes out of hibernation, I found this pair of mules I've had for longer than I
 can remember! The soles and inners are still perfect, but the pale denim uppers are now shabby. Those spots are silver paint 'splashes', very last century!


I searched through my bag of leather bits, and found some pink croc offcuts, nice and fine.
I cut a paper pattern from the blue denim, then patched the leather onto the pattern, it took 2 or 3 pieces for each shoe, overlapping them. Used flexible glue to stick them onto the denim, trimmed off a couple of tiny corners.

I always think shoes get overlooked when it comes to refashioning, its amazing what a difference you can do with a shoe refresh, these look great!
