I love leather moccassins but have never made them (or any other footwear before). I have a pair that is so stretched I can't wear them anymore without them falling off my feet. They have a leather cord to tighten them but even so they are still too stretched. Perhaps, I could learn some skills from you to make them wearable again. I really enjoyed their soft durability. I refuse to part with them just yet. >D

Hmmmm possibly the only option is to copy the pattern and make a new tighter pair, the way I learned to make patterns is to cover your sock covered foot with overlapping layers of masking tape (the paper like one for painting edges) both directions, then draw on where the seams and the back line and front line are (so you get both sides) then cut off with scissors along the seam lines, then ypy have your pattern. I will do a workshop later on for sure, :-) itd sad when your fav shoes die....nice to remake :-)
That is a veru clever way of making a pattern. I look forward to your workshop! Yes, it is sad when your favoirite shoe dies. Ha ha! -Aimee
