Worn Journal asked me to customize a pair of Keds for a fundraiser they hosted at the Bata Shoe Museum.  Here they are – top picture courtesy of Worn Journal, the rest are mine and if you click them you can see them even bigger.

Here are some pictures of me working on my Keds right up until the moment before they were auctioned off in support of ACT and Fashion Cares.  I was thrilled and surprised that they received the second-highest bid of the night at $350 for a terrific cause.

Thanks so much to Meagan, Serah-Marie and Ted of Worn Journal for helping me transport the machine to and from the Bata Shoe Museum.  It was a lot of fun to talk to all the attendees and answer questions about my Keds and the leatherworker machine.  For those of you who were wondering how I made them – this is how.
