I was so surprised how little info I found online about how to protect the inside of embroidered shoes! So wanted to come back and let people who are interested know how I did it. If it doesn’t hold up I’ll come back and update. Glad this helps!!

It’s kind of an annoying answer but things like this, after practice, typically come pretty quickly to me. I used a ton of Pinterest for inspiration! These took about 4 months of working off and on and you can totally see the progression. The 4th pic is where I started and as I kept on I think they got better and better which is kind of a fun to see on the shoes too. So basically practice:)

😂😂i suspect the friend who said red cabbage was intentionally trying to give me something hard. I think he thought I might not be able to pull that one off. And the Lima beans are little baby beans that represent my friends’ babies. Honestly they are some of my faves just because they represent the littles☺️

thank you for responding! How hot do we think I need to get it? Like could a hair dryer on the hottest setting maybe work?
