My teenage daughter and I had a very positive experience with Margaret doing sandal-making. It was such a unique idea in the first place and now I can say I know how sandals are made. It will enhance my critical eye to see quality for any sandal I do purchase in the future. That's for sure! Margaret was very informative and patient. The quality of the materials being used gave my daughter and I some attractive, comfortably soft and sturdy sandals. I did the work, but
Margaret paid attention to details and made sure it didn't look like I made them. If you know what I mean. lol We love our sandals!!! Highly Recommended!
