How it works
After purchase, you’ll receive a PDF guide with instructions to access your video lessons and course materials.
To practice patternmaking and bring your designs to life, here’s what you’ll need:
A shoe last – This is essential if you want to transfer your patterns and build them into real footwear.
However, if you prefer to focus only on patternmaking, I can provide a PDF Mean Forme at actual size, so you can start designing patterns without needing a physical last.
Basic tools, including:
• pencil • cutter knife • eraser • ruler • centimeter • A3 size paper
…and other simple, accessible tools you may already have at home.
To complete the Ankle Boot Making course, you'll need some basic tools and materials commonly used in shoemaking — such as a shoe last, cutting tools, leather or upper material, and a sewing machine for stitching the uppers.
All tools are accessible and explained in the course, with techniques suited for a small workshop or home setup.
*The video lessons of the course are in English.
**The course is about a Ankle Boot with Stitchdown Construction, using vegetable-tanned leather for building the sole and heel. So, you’ll also learn how to construct the sole from scratch and how to glue and sew it securely to the uppers using stitchdown construction.
