summer cottage blue room shoes





even though i like modern textile prints i am always attracted to old country patterns and textures from mom's closet, vintage clothing shops and thrift stores. i am always very happy when i can find such fabrics by chance that i run home and think about new shoe designs that would work well with my new discovery.
i started making these shoes during the few days of warm weather we had last week. then i imagined we were spending time in a summer cottage somewhere near a lake or by the sea with the warm summer wind blowing through an open window.
this is the first in my summer cottage series. i'm always looking for more so another one will come in time.
