I pretty much crashed after I dropped these in the mail yesterday, but I did manage to snag a few pics before I boxed them up. So, here are the finished turnshoes!

Okay! Now to let them dry for a few hours while I get a few hours of sleep. Then add the buckles, seal them, and ship them off to their new home and hope they fit! 😅

Rather than cutting the stitching the stitching, I'm carefully picking it out so I can tie it off where I want to stop so the rest of the shoe won't unravel.
