'number 5'

This shoe began as a test pattern on a new last using  scrap leather I  thought unsuitable for a finished shoe.  And I unintentionally cut out the two sides without flipping the pattern so one side is leather and the other is rough suede. I wasn't planning to make a shoe of it but something about it appealed to me. My son thought I should name it Jekyll and Hyde. It is seen here sitting on the table of my favorite sewing machine, a 1950's Singer Featherweight, although this particular shoe was sewn by hand.  This is my fifth shoe.
