Shoes you can make from Corry s book
 âIt s something I ve been wanting to do for a long time,â says Rachel Corry about her new book,Â
The Sandalmaking Workshop, which teaches readers how to make their own mules, slides, Mary Janes, and more. âBecause when I first wanted to learn, I couldn t find any contemporary books. All the books in the library about shoemaking were from the â70s. And I thought that was so weird that no one had picked up or continued this line of work in a long time.â
