Oh Cobblers

I never signed up for cobbling, and I don't think I'd pass the entrance exam, but after the pair of books I made for myself




I thought I'd keep going.


I have made a pair for God Daughter's Christmas present,


And then a teacher at school asked for a pair too
 

Making them involved a bit of Heath Robinson thinking:  The only clear space to set up the Bernina was a bit high for using the foot pedal.  And the machine then had to go on a stool to give enough room to move the boot around, So I stood at the desk to make them.
I think they worked OK
