Started work on the birdie feetsies. I spent hours (of frustrated) experimenting to get to this point as #rah-bop ‘s tutorial pattern didn’t really work with my BigW shoes for this project. Eventually figured out I needed to squish the shoe fabric top down to get an accurate pattern outline for the foam to sit evenly, and the outer toes needed an extra layer of foam to be flush with the shoe sole.
Next task is to sand down the underneath layers to sit smoothly over the fabric, and sculpt the toe shapes.
