  1. Love this... 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 11th Jan 2020

    What a charming little book. I have not yet made my own shoes but the book was popular enough at a recent gathering that I gave my copy away and plan to get another copy. A great vision into women's lives in the 19th Century and the details of things they had to do!


  2. Happy Customer 5 Star Review

    The product arrived sooner then expected, was in good condition, and was all that I'd hoped it to be.


  3. Fantastic research tool 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 22nd Mar 2014

    I was so glad to find this - a website recommended it, and I bought it to help me make my own side-laced 1840s boots. It's a fabulous resource for the historian as well as the maker (I'm both), and the fold out patterns are a huge help.
