I was refreshing your videos page in anticipation for this one ever since you’ve posted your teaser as my little girl is at the same “just about to walk” stage and I would really want to make her a pair of little shoes to take her first steps in! I even got a little owl stamp to put on top of each just for that purpose, she loves owls. So yeah, sorry to all the other “serious” leatherwork currently on the bench - baby shoes take priority. Thank you for all the tips!
This makes my day!! Thank you for letting me know, Krystian! If you’re on Instagram, please send me a pic of her shoes when you make them! Have fun! -Tanner
Hi Tanner, well look at you talking metric, I am impressesd. A man after my own heart Croc's and socks really comfortble. Nice project I am going to try this. Going to Cape Town shortly to see my granddughter who is 16 months old and as we are now going into winter here in South Africa this would be a brilliant project. Many thanks for the video tutoral's they are easy to follow and understand. Cute baby the shoes look good on her. All the best to you and your family keep well and safe. Cheers boet.
I am making a similar style as a gift and the free pattern i found was only pictures so this really helped except I will have to do the sewing by hand. ty
Not a project that I'll be doing...but the pattern process was an excellent lesson.. that's the reason I watch projects like this one... you can always learn something from a true craftsman....thanks
Great shoe idea for your first steps!May God grant peace and prosperity to your family and a peaceful sky above your head! I especially liked the way to make a pattern.
Doing a pair now for a grandson, thanks for the video. I've done what you did before. I had to buy a new bell crank motion feed for my adler patcher because it broke in the middle of making one of my grand daughters mocs. I'm up and running again and now my new grandson will get a pair of home mades. This time I'm going all out for a derby. LOL
Yes, lots of ways- some people use a skiving knife (there are quite a few variations of these), and the knife must be extremely sharp. This is a tedious but rewarding (and usually nerve-wracking) process. I often use a French Skiver from Palosanto. It is a hand tool that kind of scoops away a path of leather the width of the blade. Kind of like mowing the lawn! This is my go-to method when not using a machine.
It impressive my stepfamily had a hope chest for all of that to be put in for me my stepparent was my great-great-grandparent i was told it was her 15 generation sea chest did find markings dated back to the 1790s who it was all it came up was lost at sea the first line had maps of the Netherland's glues on it was well beaten up from, water was and another liner was put over that was cloth to did protect the first one to need to have repairs done to it did all the repair to and did put the second liner back over the first one and had an other line put over that one to protecting the history of this sea chest
Done, Shane! They would definitely need some sort of leather care product if you were to use them longer term. Not sure if you have any ideas there... 🤔😅

Yes, Wonderful, she did take her first step in the shoes you made.
She did! She’s cruising all over now!
I love that you throw the non freedom units in on the measurements!
Ha ha- we can’t all be lucky enough to measure in fractions of inches and feet and yards... 😂
Such a sweet idea! And I love the tape technique, definitely stealing that one!

Such a great video, they should definitely end up a family heirloom! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Paul! She’s putting some miles on them now! I appreciate your support so much. 🙏🏼

Congratulations on your daughter's first steps, whenever that may be. This is a great project with a unique way of using the tape to make the pattern!
That is so awesome man. I hope you catch those first steps on video
Great job! What a cutie! Thanks for sharing the process including the mistakes, because we all make them and need to learn from them!

Great kicks Tanner. You do know baby shoes are the gateway drug to boots yeah? Join us brother in bespoke bootland 🤪
Love it 😍
Nice! And much repect for not cutting out the little stuff that happens to us all! If you can find one the Juki 563 would be perfect for that and more
Great job there!!👍
Thanks, Daniel! I appreciate you watching, my friend!
Awesome video man! Keep up the good work
I’ve made these for myself and the only thing I haven’t gotten to is how to make a heel that looks alright.
realy like the pattern idea thank you
Cool, John! Thanks for watching! Hope you can give it a try!
Lol! Great video. Love the mistakes!
Neat!
How's the flatbed.....ohh... nevermind 🤦🏼♂️. Cool project!
Impressive
Thank you!
Hey! Haha...what are the dimensions of your storage shelves for leather rolls, if you don't mind saying?
Tanner is there another way to skive leather without a machine?
