Hey there, I know it has been a while since you posted on your blog re the manek shoes, but I just recently came about reading on how to get started on
beading and found your blog to be very helpful. Is there anyway that you can email me an actual template of the diagonal straps, crossed straps for the shoes as I do not know exactly how to make them and I’m in US so will be helpful
if you can do that for me. Thanks a bundle.

In reply to Jan. Exactly, not only that, once you put it down you need more determination to continue the project. I steal time from my rest time and I still have a full-time office job to take care besides my 2 kids. I get my beads both locally and oversea in order to meet my desired color range.

Wow, 8 hrs a day, that’s like a full-time job. I envy u. I also realise that if I don’t finish my sewing fast then the interest will slowly die off. ok, will try to steal more time to complete my project. BTW, do u get your beads online or at the local stores? Thanks.

Hi Jan,
You are welcome. I love to share and sharing makes me happy 🙂
If you bought the uneven beads, you will have to select and use the evenly shaped. I bought from a trusted source and their beads are awesomely even and nice. I just love them!!!!
I worked on them fulltime, at least 8 hours a day to get them done in short period of time. The drawback was that the beading job really strained my eyesight and I have to rest for a few days after that :p

Hi, thanks for the beautiful things you made. You make them look so easy to get them done. My kasut is like taking me ages to sew. I’m using no. 15 potong beads. The beads are so unevenly cut I find it hard to keep them in alignment. Just wondering how did you sew a pair in 12 days? Or was it 10 days? That’s amazing. Keep posting beautiful things ok…:)
