So i found a pair of black flats at a garage sale a while back. One of the shoes was broken, the top leather was almost completely detached. But i got them anyway with a little fixing up in mind.
The original. Cute, but no unique pazazz.

 

I took out the top leather and replaced it with quilting thread.

Here is the finished product:

  
love 'em.

Oh and i love that i got these for ten bucks today.
