The Big Textbook of Footwear Uppers

Even pattern-making is a fundamental knowledge in the footwear trade, for many makers it is practically an uncharted territory, for all different reasons. Surely patterns are complicated, but that is not all. Most of our resources to learn making patterns are old books and/or personal learning. Both options have their own limits and I am saying this testing both. Books are usually reference books, with sophisticated, but most of the times dated shoe styles, with very little relevance to current ones. 

The Big Book Of Footwear Uppers - Volume I will take you from the first sketches to the finished upper. Every single step will be detailed and illustrated with photos. It goes into the nitty-gritty of patterning and shows why’s and how’s of the upper construction. Each chapter will guide you through something new. You can use this book as a reference in your studies or even just use it instead of expensive courses and academic programs. 

We plan to publish 2 more installment of this work, covering the whole pattern and upper making from the simplest to the most complex models.
