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! #contessaesselia #leatherwork #wip #turnshoe https://www.instagram.com/p/Cosjc_YO-Fr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

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! 😅 #contessaesselia #leatherwork #wip #turnshoe https://www.instagram.com/p/Cootc7JODA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Stitching it up! #contessaesselia #leatherwork #wip #turnshoe https://www.instagram.com/p/CooibOBu4V_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

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. #contessaesselia #leatherwork #wip #turnshoe https://www.instagram.com/p/CoobmqROQoC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This isn't fun anymore! 😭 No matter how much a skived the leather and notched the curves and pulled and pushed and prodded I could not get it to turn while stitched. My arms, shoulders, elbows and hands hurt from wrestling this dang shoe. 😅 Guess we are stitching it from the outside! #contessaesselia #leatherwork #wip #turnshoe https://www.instagram.com/p/CooZCiis4pD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
