Uppers for a pair of test fitters.
Trying to find the time this week to last these…

A pattern piece for a pair of test fitters I’m working on.
April was a busy month for me, full of web development work and server migrations. Hopefully May will be more about shoemaking and less about cPanel and Plesk.

And the results of the test fitting for the Gibsons:
Lasts are 95% there. A little build up addition on the right last around the little toe, and a slight bit more height on the cone of the left last.
The pattern for the uppers will need a few alterations. The topline at the heel needs to come up and in more for it to grab the last better, and I need to change the angle of the top of the quarters around the lacing. Brogueing has been requested on the edge of the quarters and the toe cap.
All in all, fairly good results.

The Test Fitters for the Gibsons have been made.
The lasts for these turn out to be fairly challenging, high toe shape profile and all.
I’ll post about the results of the fitting tomorrow.
