Above: This is the design I chose to go with - simple straps.
Above: Once I have decided on the design, I proceed to cut the pattern. This is kind of a template which one would use to make the top part of the shoe (which is called an Upper). The pattern is used to cut the fabric and lining to be used. There are many things to consider when designing the pattern though - how straps/material overlap with each other, which part of the material will take the most strain etc etc.
Above: After the different shapes of material have been cut by hand, its time to scythe some of the thicker lining. The lining is made of leather and parts of leather that overlap need to be scythed otherwise feet would find it rather uncomfortable.
Above: Once the upper is complete, the stitching needs to go in and this is done by a particular type of sewing machine called a Post Machine. I am not sure why its called a Post Machine but I imagine that its to do with the post like object which you see just under my hands - without it, sewing an upper would be a nightmare due to the nooks, crannys and folds - especially for boots.
Above: And here is the finished pair - not really for daily use but ideal for parties, weddings (in white or pearl) or for that special occasion.

Wow!, I finally found the son of the legendary Jimmy Choo, no pun intended. You can't deny that your father's talent is in you. Well, is really nice to know you.
D00d, is there anything you don't do? Man, you really know how to inspire. Thanks and as always, keep up the great content.
LOL, ah, the idea was amusing and intriguing, but nope, no fatherly relation... Jimmy Choo was born 1961. Danny Choo is in his 30s, so born around 1970s... But long-lost brothers? Hmmm, hahaha!
Wow Danny, really impressive... Anymore tricks up your sleeve? Like cutting your wife in half and putting her back to normal without stitches for example LOL
