Discussed the style of shoe and what would be necessary with the workshop leader. Wrapped the foot and made the initial pattern.

Adjusted the pattern and cut out the pieces, 10 per shoe in total. Punched the holes in the right shoe.

Mixed the dye I got from the workshop leader and dyed the pieces. I have very bad feeling about this dye, the pieces are curling and the dye is blotchy.

Disaster. The dye has not stuck to the leather at all. The pieces are curled and dye reverted back to powder after ethanol evaporated. I probably must find new leather and cut new pieces. I will try to brush off the dye powder, but I am afraid the alcohol has damaged the leather beyond repair.
