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.

belly dancer flat room shoes
in my shop now.
i think they will be great to wear for special occasions like wedding day or indoor party. next time i will take them with me for my cousin's bridal shower. because i guess the party will be parsi style so it will match well with the concept.

in progress
these are inspired by punjabi 'jutti' which means 'shoes'. usually punjabi wear the jutti for special occasions like wedding days or festivals. since i got this beautiful and delicate sari fabric always i've wondered which shoe design will fit with it. finally i made this pair and they look elegant like women in saris to me. so i would like to call them 'belly dancer room shoes'.

mustard mary jane room shoes in my shop now.
when i look at these i think about ducks swimming in a pond. the mustard fabric, is a blend of hemp and linen and has a natural shine and texture. they are comfortable and hug your feet like mittens. the square toe was inspired by the ballet flat room shoes.

sweater mary jane room shoes
since i started making room shoes for my etsy shop i had a bit of a stressful time but when i finished these mary jane room shoes which look so cozy, i suddenly felt much better. however, these shoes are no longer next to me. they are in the comforts of someone else's home. good walking.
