Quimper Hittys

Embroidery on the velvet. The velvet does not extend to the edges of the white bamboo felt at the bottom where it will tuck under the sole of the shoe, nor at the back of the shoe vamp piece, where it will be covered by the heel piece of the shoe. This was done to reduce bulk in the finished shoe. I am sorry I don’t have a good picture illustrating this, but you can see what I mean in some of the pictures later in the process.
