Very simple and easy to follow. Focuses on fabric shoes only though - so anyone looking for something on leather shoes may be disappointed. Also, the shoes are generally in the style and size of antique French dolls. I don't make clothing for those types of dolls but I found the information to be transferrable for my purposes. If you want to know how to make doll shoes, I highly recommend this book to get you started.

This is a clear guide to making doll shoes. Patterns come in many styles and sizes, there is even information on changing the patterns to fit your doll. Before I got this book I thought that making my own doll shoes would be too difficult, but they aren't. The shoes are adorable and easy to make, you don't even need special supplies. I made shoes using materials I had on hand. Much more fun and cheaper than purchasing ready made doll shoes. Plus you can make them to match the dolls outfit. You can even design your own shoe styles once you have made a pair or two! Her other book on making leather shoes is also excellent! I made the leather boots and they were darling!

This is a great book to get started making Doll shoes. I had thought about wanting to make Doll shoes for a long time but until I got this book I had no idea how to get started. I'm now having lots of fun making all kinds of Doll shoes. Great book to get started with.

It is not as simple as it looks. One has to have at least some sewing skills and it is not simply explained. A good study of the book is a must before one can actually make a pair of shoes in the right size. All very confusing but after three weeks of practise, i have finally made a pair, with a lot of patience.

I made two of the shoes, was tedious, but worked. Shoes are all old fashioned and I wanted newer dated shoes.

Love this little book and also workbook #2 by the same author, This one I bought for a friend who was forever borrowing mine as she loved it too, great shoes easy to follow instructions and patterns, can be adapted to look more modern for modern dolls.

I have used this book and the author's second book for several years. It is the best book for learning how to make doll shoes. I am a dealer, and I sold these books when they were available from Hobby House Press. I don't think these books are being printed anymore, so try to purchase one at a reasonable price while you can. The original price was $5.95.

Very well written book. Instructions are easy to follow and clear photos of each step when making doll shoes with fabric. She also has another book ( Workbook II ) for making leather shoes. I have bought both books and love them.

This book is fairly useless unless you have a larger doll to make for and I was looking for fasion type shoes.
However it is correct in the construction of shoes for dolls as I worked in a shoe factory and saw and did every aspect of the process of making a shoe.
