My First Pair of SB Flats...

Finished up my FIRST pair of flats today :) They took me a few days to complete but I did it... After some trial and error, un-stitching and re-stitching and at least a hundred questions for my uncle I think Im getting the hang of things!! The pattern still needs some tweeking, but not too shabby for my first pair if I do say so myself :) As soon as I perfect the flats I will put them on the website! Stay tuned...

Fingers Crossed...

SoOo I was having my morning coffee the other day when the phone rang... It was my Uncle Steve, who said he had good news for me. After a few rounds of, "Uncle Stevie's the best in the world..." (he would make my brother and I say that when we were younger to get out of choke holds! LOL) he told me he thinks he found someone to make my shoes!! A man who used to work with him a few years ago is moving back to Florida in a few months. He is very good at what he does and should be back in May or June so we will talk then, but this is exciting :)

You all have been on this roller coaster ride with me over the last year, and I think we are due for some GOOD NEWS!! fingers crossed...

Learning From The Best...

I had so much fun today at the Stuart Factory... I started on a pair of size 7 flats in platinum iguana!! With my Uncle Steve helping me along the way I got a lot done. I cut the patterns, stamped the insoles, skived the leather and stitched the uppers and lining together... I must say, the perks of having such a talented uncle are not too bad ;)

too cute...

I went up to the factory today to start on the flats, and decided to start small... literally :) I made a tiny little pair for my girlfriend who is having a baby this month. They turned out soOo cute!! I can't wait to see her crawling around showing off her little Strawberry Blonde soles!

I'm actually thinking they would make great gifts as baby's first shoes... Or hanging from a clothesline at a baby shower! Just imagine the teeny little divas :)

As for the mommys... I'm making a pattern for a size 7 now, you know I gotta make myself a pair first ;) I will post more pictures soon.

Coming Soon Strawberry Blonde Flats...

SoOo Ive decided to start making flats in all my fun spring colors until I find a shoemaker for the line :)


I have always wanted to add flats to the collection as a complement to the heels. Something to take you from day to night without much effort. Pair the SB flats with jeans, a cute top and minimal accesories for day and later slip into your SB heels, add a smokey eye and some earrings and your ready for dinner and drinks!

I will keep you posted as go but I plan on getting started right away...
