Pins and glue thats what I do!

So at this stage I'm sticking the fabric panels onto the shoe with sewing pins (which are actually kinda scary lol). Which the pieces being held together with pins I was able to use E-6000 adhesive (see! It even sounds dangerous!!!) to glue certain parts of the fabric together (I had to wear a respirator) cuz i didn't wanna die from the fumes! I 'm still hoping my hair doesn't fall out from it lol!)

Bleach + Denim= fun! :D

I took all the pieces outside and attacked them with bleach! Ten minutes in 90 degree weather is no joke lol! But I'm pleased with the outcome, next time I use bleach I think I'll be a little more subtle though.

More progress

I finished making stencils and cut out all the pieces, and began to fray them for a distressed look then I laid them out together.

My latest project: Denim Dunks

After what seemed like hours of staring at an ugly shoe, I decided to FINALLY try my hand at customizing a pair of shoes with fabric and without relying on my painting skills. I have been meaning to do this for the longest time, but I was putting it off because I was afraid of failure. I finally gave in and decided that my fear of doing this project was the perfect reason to do it! You learn more when you're uncomfortable, and what better way to learn than trial and error? So I'll keep you guys posted as I embark on this new endeavor.

Coming soon!

What I've been up to!
