Be super super careful when you use glue like that... if you're going to use it with any frequency it's probably a good idea to buy a painter's respirator (we use Barge all the time in puppet builds so I'm really cautious about exposure to it). gingermakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12035109200546171549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813031881624424068.post-1270311714674686462016-09-23T00:08:56.783-07:002016-09-23T00:08:56.783-07:00Well it helps to have multiple endorsements!

The easiest way to stop gaping on the top line is taking about 2mm off the back seam, there's a clever way to adjust from your flat pattern as well but so hard to describe in words. I know what you mean about wanting a bit more strength to them. I remember cutting out buckram from the same pattern piece as the shoe and sewing it as just another layer in there. It helped but sturdiness in shoes and materials you use can be a personal thing. Don't stop experimenting, it's such a fun ride!
