Project Lessons

One of the aims of this site is to provide step by step instructions for a variety of shoemaking projects. I try to do this through project lessons, which you will see listed below. These lessons are geared specifically towards raised heels; although I'm interested in a variety of other topics, those will find their place in the "Other Projects" section of the website.
