Drawing the parts for boots. It is important which leg you are focusing and which part of the shoe you draw on certain place. Because the fur needs to go certain direction for boot not be slippery. I made one mistake on drawing and one stitching parts together but the teacher saved me both times. O is for right and V is for left.

First day of work shop. I was little bit suspicious that I would ever finish my boots looking like the ready ones do... We got mystery package of reindeer legs and opened it carefully. Legs were stored in salt and they were still bit frozen. Freezer is the storage place. First stage was "mäskäys", making the leather side clean and ready for bark water which we made earlier.
