I made a prototype for Huarache-type sandals.
I used a cork sole cut from a cork tile, made holes, and threaded turquoise cotton cord through them.

As they’re really comfortable to wear I decided to make a pair soon.
In the background are things which I’m sewing at the moment: 😉 a turquoise wrap skirt, a turquoise cotton skirt, a white pleated skirt – and the cotton malines lace is for my Edwardian silk corset.
