DIY Biatch!

After so many months of LOVE for the most beautiful shoes in the world I finally couldn't stand it anymore.
These are the wonderful huge ribbon Buffalo London pumps with the threatening 10 cm stiletto heels and the evil price of 100€.
As I prefer shoes I can use for university and other everyday stuff (I never go out at night, so why should I buy shoes I never wear???) these heels were a little too much - even for heel-loving me.

So after a lot of thinking and planning in my mind I finally set out to get myself 3 meters of black satin and a pair of fairly comfortable, reasonably priced black heels. I found some good quality shoes on sale for just 40€, and they matched the satin perfectly.That being done, I started to measure, try this and that and here and there, and finally cut the satin into several pieces to make ribbons in the end.
Then I had my mommy help me with the sewing machine, and together we produced two beautiful and gorgeous black satin ribbons.The last part was the hardest. I had to sew the ribbons onto the shoes, and the shoes were thick and the needles were thin..... I had to prepare all the holes with a really thick needle, then I started to sew the ribbon onto the shoe.
One needle died in the sewing process and I can't count all those bleeding spots in my finger tips...
Even my green friend couldn't save me from all those severe wounds.

Anyway, I didn't give up and tatatatataaaaaaaaaaa:
They look AT LEAST as cute as the original. They are, as far as I can tell (due to blisters any shoe hurts me these days), easy to walk in and quite comfy.
