Though I am far away from being perfect I managed to make two pairs of ballerinas, beginning from nothing

Though I am far away from being perfect I managed to make two pairs of ballerinas, beginning from nothing. I learned a lot about changing the lasts , making the patterns, testing them, sewing, lasting, all steps. I definitely do recommend it! With this course, I can watch the same episodes again and again, and I can study when I have time. Good luck to you Sveta, many happy new clients and Happy Shoemaking to all of you!

Wanted to tell you you are the best teacher in the world

Sveta, I just want to tell you that I am so greatful for all the advise you always gave me. Since I took your course I'm not looking back. Every day I learned more and more and pushed myself to become a better shoemaker to learn more on the craft. Last year I decided to start my brand and am doing so well

I just wanted to share some of my work and tell you you are the best teacher in the world.

Thank you and have a Blessed holiday season.

Elena's impressive Progress

Elena is a felt artist and a good one. Her goal was to make shoes in variety of models and styles. 
Elena enrolled to my online shoemaking courses and the progress shoes she made is so impressive.

At the beginning of the program we always start from basic ballet shoes. 
Elena have made few pairs of ballets for herself and her sister.
Just the first step....

Following the program and my 3 modules of learning, from basic to advanced, Elena achieved faster results.
Elena took my Footwear Design Workshop as well and now she is exploring the wonderful world of style combinations and technical footwear design, judge for yourself.

Conrad and Elena learned shoemaking online and their success is visible.

You will learn to make shoes and you will gain knowledge and skills to work on your own. To create classic footwear and your own design, that is beautiful and comfortable.
