I saved the shoemaking for the final step of my Good Omens Aziraphale cosplay, just in case the time ran out. But, thankfully it did not! This pair of 1890s boots is based on an original at the Met Museum, with a few alterations to the uppers design to work better for the fit I need and the angel wing vibes I wanted. Though I tried to keep construction as simple and efficient as possible, I still needed to make a new pair of lasts to shape the shoes onto. The 1890s had a very distinct heel and toe for only a few years, and it can’t be replicated by other shapes!

  1. I am in total awe watching this. The mere idea of making shoes is daunting to me and I’m impressed that you took on the seemingly monumental task of learning the art. Bravo. Looking at these 1890s boot styles, the first thing that popped into my head was to wonder is this where the fancy cowboy boots got their start or was it the other way around?????

  2. Wonderful job. It's an extraordinary pair of beautiful boots. I loved watching you make it (and that you use a Bernina…I'm a Bernina fan). It's not something I will ever attempt to make myself, but it is fascinating seeing how you did it. Cheers. ????

  4. I always want to wait till the end before commenting but I am usually so blown away by your work that I end up commenting half way through, just watching your precision and making your own lasts and everything is amazing

  5. I'm never going to make shoes, but watching these being made just made my day. So much work and the results are amazing. It's fantastic to see the process, so thank you for videoing it!

  6. A crazy thought flew into my head. Have you ever thought of make you dog a set of shoes?? Crazy, I know!

  7. I know the orange decoration on the shoes is supposed to just be a historical detail, but they honestly make me think those boots would have been a gift from Crowley, which Aziraphale claims to not be friends with and not care for them at all, but still wears and maintains every day.

  9. You did an amazing job! But, as much as I love the design and heel height, I would absolutely trip over those long toes! I think I would have been better off in cracows!

  12. I will never bitch and whine about paying over $50 for a pair of quality shoes again.

  13. I feel so priviliged to be able to watch this video, thank you, i'll study second by second.

  14. Nicole, I so enjoy your videos. I've learned a lot from you, and honestly, your videos are great company while I'm sewing along on my own projects. Thank you!

  15. I hope you make a video of how you made the blouse and doctored the hat also! Looking forward to seeing all the pieces together!

  19. I can't watch such videos, because I always have a feel you will cut yourself.

  21. Gorgeous shoes! What kind of sewing machine do you use? It sounds like a mechanical Bernina – is there a model #?
