Hello Everyone!!! This is my first Blog, I am so excited!!! So, I guess I will start off with a little bit about myself.... I am a stay at home mom with my Daughter Autumn who is 4..... I am 26 and I have been married twice.... My Husband Now has been my best friend since I was 16, We just got married in April.... So, Guess I will jump right into it now that you know a little bit about me..... Last night I was looking at my favorite pair of wedges and hating the fact that I couldn't wear them anymore because of a broken strap..... I was done waiting for the perfect floral fabric to show up (miracles do happen, but not this time) so I decided It was going to happen tonight..... I went over to my mothers (also a crafty mom) and asked if she had any floral fabric and I look down at her and right there under her arm was a new pillow she had just made to cushion her arm while playing EQ2..... It was of beautiful Blue and White Floral.... She said she had 2 small pieces of scrap left sooooooo.... I took both and went back to my house..... I gathered my Fabric Glue and an old pillow case, oh and my hubby he had to take the shoes apart for me.....  so ..... the old straps were still intact (but the glue that was on one of the straps had failed and the strap came out of the shoe which is why I had to fix it but decided to wait till I had floral fabric because I wanted floral fabric shoes) So back to the story now I guess........... The Straps were a dark navy blue with leather inlay on the top, which would show right threw the cotton floral fabric..... So I took the old white pillow case and wrapped it once around each strap and glued it on the side facing my foot and smoothed it out the surface of where the glue was.... The I did the same with the floral fabric, Then Glued the whole shoe back together.... YAY!!! These were Fun and I am so happy that my idea worked.... and I love how they came out.....
