"Are your courses just for women's shoes?"

A definitive NO.

In fact, a core part of the Bespoke Derby course is guiding you on the 3 key adjustments to adapt a classic pattern for a robust, professional men's shoe.

Here is what I'll guide you through:

1. Adjusting the Pattern: We'll professionally adapt the core pattern to fit the specific volume and measurements of a men's shoe last.

2. Changing the Quarter Lines: I'll show you where to move these lines on the pattern to create that traditional, masculine aesthetic.

3. Adding Upper Reinforcements: You'll learn exactly what to add and where to place it inside the upper for the specific structure and durability a men's shoe needs.

This is the perfect time to talk about it, because my big 3-day sale starts in just ONE WEEK (Nov 18-20)!

Mastering this is a key part of the 30% OFF Bespoke & Barefoot Bundle.

If you know this sale is for you, you CANNOT miss the Early Bird offer. It comes with an extra bonus you really want if you're a beginner.

Don't miss out. The bonus is only for those on the list.

Want to make more than just custom shoes?

As a shoemaker, you have to choose: Do you follow the Traditional Bespoke path or the Modern Ergonomic path?

...Why not master both?

I’ve seen so many students get one, but they are missing the techniques from the other.

So, I’m launching a special 3-day sale (Nov. 18-20) to offer a complete system.

You'll be able to get my two most powerful courses:

The Bespoke Derby Handsewn Opanka Course

The Barefoot Shoe Course

...at a huge 30% OFF Bundle discount.

The real magic isn't just the two courses—it's how they complete each other. You'll be able to "Mix & Match" techniques.

(Plus, both courses are designed for men's and women's shoes. I will specifically teach you how to adapt the Derby pattern, add reinforcements, and build a stacked leather heel for classic men's shoes.)

I've created a special PDF with ALL the details: the discounts, the 4 "Mix & Match" examples, and the 5 bonus construction courses you get with the bundle.

I will also have a special early bird offer with a secret bonus, especially for beginners.

Want the full PDF and the details on the early bird offer?

Comment "special early birds" below, and I will send you the PDF right away.

The truth about how fast you'll make your first shoe! ⏰ 👟
I see students finish their first pair in 2 weeks, and others take 3 months. Why the difference?
Because Progress = Results!

If you can dedicate 5-10 hours a week (my recommendation!), you should expect to complete your first pair before the first month ends.

If you're busy and only have 2 hours a week—that's okay! You just need to adjust your expectations.

The main goal?
Keep practicing! Every pair after the first will take less time because you already know the process.

🛑 Stop Making This Mistake!
Do you actually need the answers to improve your craft and move from "good" to a professional shoemaker?
The answer is YES. The difference is in the details you don't even realize you're missing.
This week, I shared three critical secrets professional shoemakers live by—secrets that might shock you:

1. I never create a shoe pattern where the inner and outer sides are identical. (This one is the secret to a flawless fit!)
2. I always check the stretch of the leather in two directions before cutting the upper parts.
3. There is one type of leather where heavy sanding is almost unnecessary for a perfect sole—do you know which one?

If you want to see the solutions and learn how to do it the right way—the professional way—I’ve prepared a detailed PDF for you.

Just reply to that email with:
" Sveta I want to learn more "

and I'll send the full guide right over!

What’s the secret behind today’s most innovative footwear?

Think sneaker-boots, loafer-sandals, or even Berluti’s side-laced masterpieces.

These designs always spark curiosity. But here’s the truth: there is no mystery material or hidden shortcut behind them. The secret is always in pattern making.
If you can control the pattern, you can control the shoe. It’s the foundation of every successful design, whether it’s a bold hybrid or a timeless Oxford. Yet most shoemakers stop at copying existing patterns instead of learning how to combine and manipulate them with confidence.
That’s why I created my new course: Pattern Making Hacks.
After developing 25 courses covering 19 different footwear constructions, I realized there was still one thing missing—the knowledge to alter and merge patterns while respecting the rules of shoemaking. This course is the missing piece.
Inside, I’ll show you exactly how to:
Merge classic shoe patterns to design hybrids that actually work.
Alter proportions while following construction rules that keep the shoes wearable and balanced.
Turn creative ideas into real shoes that look right, fit right, and last.
This isn’t about “design tricks.” It’s about mastering the professional techniques that make innovation possible without sacrificing comfort or quality.
 Next week, Pattern Making Hacks will launch—for students in the 1-Year Shoemaking Program.

See what this new course is all about:

Do your handmade shoes still look... handmade?

It's frustrating when you spend hours on a pair, but tiny details keep them from looking truly professional. It almost always comes down to 3 make-or-break moments in the process.

This week, my students and I have been focused on mastering them:
🤫 The secret to making both shoes perfectly identical.
🔥 The 1mm glue mistake that can ruin an entire sole attachment. 🤯 The right place to start assembling your uppers (hint: it's not the bottom).

I’ve put all the answers and techniques into a detailed PDF guide. If you want a free copy to elevate your own work...

The Perfect Starting Point for Men's Shoemaking

Every craft has an ideal starting point. In women's shoemaking, I always advise beginners to start with the ballet flat. Why? Because its simple, elegant design teaches the entire, foundational workflow of shoemaking.

So, what is the perfect equivalent for someone who wants to start making men's shoes? The classic loafer.

The loafer is the ideal first project for the exact same reason: it is a complete curriculum in one shoe. It systematically teaches you every essential skill you need to build more complex footwear later. By making one pair of loafers, you will master the entire process:

Precise Pattern Making: You will learn how to create a full set of patterns for a classic loafer directly from the shoe last, a core skill for any shoe design.

Essential Leather Work: You will practice cutting, skiving, and preparing your upper, learning the fundamentals of how to handle the material.

Fundamental Construction: You will learn to stitch the upper, last it correctly to avoid wrinkles, and prepare the insole—the key steps that give a shoe its shape.

Bottoming and Finishing: You will learn to attach the outsole and heel and apply the final touches, completing the entire shoe from top to bottom.

The benefit is clear: by the end, you won't just have a single pair of shoes. You will have a complete, gap-free understanding of the shoemaking process, giving you the confidence and the core competence to tackle any new project.

Your journey into men's shoemaking begins here, with the perfect foundational project.

There's the DIY way, and then there's the craftsman's way.

In my workshop this week, I saw the difference firsthand. Simple mistakes—a measuring tape off by a centimeter, a pattern transferred without correction—can lead to shoes that are uncomfortable, fit poorly, and fall apart. These are the bad habits that come from learning without proper guidance.

The secret to great shoemaking isn't a hack or a shortcut. It's learning the craft correctly from the ground up. It's the old-school approach that respects every single step.

Stop making the same mistakes. Start building your skills on a solid foundation.
