We are back again after our long break to begin work on a new pair of hand-sewn ruby slippers. You always need to relax the eyes and hands because sewing nonstop takes a toll on your health.

Below are two animated pictures of a cute Judy Garland and Norma Shearer sitting together at the Los Angeles Academy Awards in 1940. Judy Garland was only 17 years old at the time, and it was in this very place where she won a special Academy Juvenile Award for her role as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. They don't give this type of award anymore so to own one is something unique and special.

Norma Shearer also worked for MGM Studios so she knew Judy Garland very well. Miss Shearer took no part in The Wizard of Oz but she visited the set on some occasions. She looks a bit like Billie Burke who played Glinda. For those who have never heard of Norma Shearer, she is a Canadian-born actress who made a name for herself in Hollywood in the 1930's and early 40's.

Looks neat 

How long does it usually take to make these?

We are now ready to continue with this project. Thank you for your patience over the last four weeks while we temporarily stopped working to take care of other commitments.

Below is a beautiful pair of shoes that we will use. It is custom-made in Judy Garland's size 5B, and the shape is identical to the originals with the 1930's style arch shank and pointy toes. The ruby slippers that Judy Garland as Dorothy wore in the Munchkinland scenes has longer heels than other pairs made for the movie, and our long heels match those heels perfectly.

We painted the soles glossy red, and red fabric has been sewn onto the shoes. To make the ruby slippers look authentic, "#7 Judy Garland" is written on the top of both shoe with a black fountain pen, and the right shoe features the Innes Shoe Company gold stamp.

This pair of Judy Garland's ruby slippers will be hand-sewn to look like new, by one of the world's top ruby slipper fashion designers, so grab it while you can as we operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

A lot of work has been done on one side of the shoe. This will be an exact replica of "the Witch's Shoes" from the Munchkinland scenes in The Wizard of Oz, which is very hard to make.

Every sequin has been carefully sewn to perfection so far and the ruby slippers is looking more and more beautiful, it just takes your breath away.

We've now completed sequining on the right shoe and it looks very beautiful.

The sequins have been sewn directly onto the shoe using nothing but a straight needle, and it's challenging on different angles on the shoe.

This pair of ruby slippers has been reserved. If you would like to purchase a high quality pair of ruby slippers like these in the future, please email us at webmaster@judygarlandsrubyslippers.com, or you can contact us on Facebook. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!

We are a week away from finishing a gem of a job with Judy Garland's ruby slippers.

Over the years some people have told us that our ruby slippers looks better than the originals. We disagree but it shows that people admire and think highly of our creations.
