I finally finished :DIt’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.
