All of my previous shoe uppers have been a bit wonky, and just not perfect. So its high time I fixed the pattern. I worked out a new, more accurate way of tracing pattern pieces off existing shoes thanks to our good friend Jan Jansen. Using calico to cover the entire shoe, this is how it works:
Once stretched over the shoe the calico can then be drawn on, either tracing the existing design lines of the shoe underneath, as I've done here, or, with a new design.
The calico can then be removed and there are the pieces, just needing a little adjusting and tracing off.
