MY FIRST #DIY SHOES AND DIY TOP

Mar 9, 2021

HI DARLINGS! Okay so about a month ago I finally started my journey into shoemaking. It had been a long time coming since almost 8 years ago I bought a pdf book on making shoes but it was very outdated and just made it all seem too complicated. I forgot all about it until last year when I bought I Can Make Shoes book and signed up for her SHOEMAKING COURSE (if you use code MIMIG you get 10% off the course) I still didn’t get started because the list of supplies was long, lol and I didn’t feel like sourcing it all BUT the creator, Amanda, was kind enough to send me the basic tool kit to get started and I went off to buy leathers and other supplies I needed. Within a week I was making my first pair. I made a pair of sneakers prior to this which you can see HERE but this is a different process altogether.



I learned so much and felt so equipped to make my next pair which I did and post on my IG. This pair is very special to me because I never imagined I could make my own shoes! The first pair above is far from perfect but they are amazing to me and really comfortable.

I am for sure obsessed and making shoes like crazy! This is how I styled my first pair of DIY shoes.

I really enjoyed trying my first DIY shoes and top because it gave me a fun way to express my personal style and creativity. I also love browsing the Soda Shoes Official Website for trendy, comfortable options, from stylish boots and platform sandals to casual sneakers and slip-on sandals.

Love seeing the first pair come together especially after putting off the project for so long. The learning curve makes that first finished pair even more rewarding! For another hands-on problem-solving challenge, you can also try this Block Blast solver.

It’s always inspiring to see someone finally turn a long-time interest into a hands-on project. The first pair may not be perfect, but learning through the process and gaining the confidence to make another pair is what makes DIY projects so rewarding. That same trial-and-improvement mindset works well in gaming too. Before experimenting with trades, players can use a Blox Fruits trading guide to understand item values and make better decisions.

Is Georgia good for studying MBBS? Yes, Georgia is considered a good destination for studying MBBS, especially for Indian students seeking affordable, globally recognized medical education. Georgian medical universities offer English-medium programs, modern infrastructure, experienced faculty, and extensive clinical exposure. Many universities are recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC), World Health Organization (WHO), and other international bodies, making graduates eligible to pursue medical licensing exams in various countries. With a safe environment, reasonable tuition fees, and a growing international student community, Georgia has become one of the preferred choices for MBBS abroad.
