Careful you are giving me ideas. I have a lot of scrap pipe organ leather ...
Gents ties (often silk) are a great source of material for making doll's clothes. Thrift stores are a great source of raw materials. Too bad they got greedy about the watches.
I took a shoe making class once. (still have the shoes.) On of the other members had a pair of expensive Italian shoes. They were almost impossible to take apart being so well made.
Curiously, stiletto and shank are the name of metal parts inside the shoe that supports the heel. The reason we were dissembling shoes was to get these parts.
