Shoe Making 15.2.18 : Assistant Report 15
Soaking the welt in water before stitching it to the shoe. Soaking the welt makes it easier to work with.
Welting in progress. I find the welting to be one of the more physically demanding parts of constructing a shoe or boot.

A lovely mid afternoon coffee at Le Vespe.
Door detail: beauty is everywhere in Florence, even in such a simple thing like a door.
Romdraculus, one of the best street bands in Florence.
A wonderful home cooked Valentine’s Day dinner. Wine, pasta with home made tomato sauce, polpette and a tasty salad, yum!
