Simple 14th C Turnshoes (Photo Heavy)
Don Jorge:
From looking at your pattern, could I actually just make the top piece from one piece of leather and avoid the saddle stitch? or is there a reason for a two piece construction of the top?
Ian:
You could do it from one
Don Jorge:
Perfect!
Ian:
To get a good idea of historical patterns based on real finds I recommend the following books:
1. Leather and Leatherworking in Anglo-Scandinavian and Medieval York
(Free PDF!)
2. Shoes and Pattens: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London
3. Stepping Through Time - this one is kind of the definitive standard on historical footwear, but good luck finding it for an affordable price
If you're going to go to the trouble of making turnshoes, I caution you from copying other people's reproduction patterns, go to the source! :)
Sir Douglas:
I saw Stepping Through Time on Amazon once for about 80 bucks, which I thought was a lot of money. Had I known the price was going to jump to $999.00, I probably would have grabbed it. :'(
