I finally finished :D
It’s surprisingly hard to take apart shoes! xD When I finally had all the pieces separate, I traced the fabric pieces and made paper patterns of them. The article recommended using “Shoe GOO” but I wasn’t able to find it anywhere.. Al local shoe repairer said sold me something they said worked the same called “Barge” original all purpose cement. It seems to work just fine. :]
This poor shoe has been sitting naked for awhile until I finally started working on it again a couple days ago. :p The fabric I got in Taiwan this summer. It’s my favoriteee. =w=
And as a warning, if anyone wants to try doing this, make sure you use All Star converse and not One Star converse. I think the article mentioned it but I hadn’t noticed.. The one star have a rubber heel in the back that makes the process just that much more difficult. D; But it still works, so if you already have one stars it’s fine.
