Not sure if you're familiar with this blogger - like it says on the tin, she makes shoes for fashion dolls, mainly for Tonners and Monster High and others with large-ish feet. She's put together an e-book of tips and techniques - I haven't checked it out, mainly because I don't have the patience for that sort of crafting for my Barbies, but some of her shoes are pretty kickass (pun intended) so it might be worth taking a look. There's a bunch of video tutorials on her blog too, I think.
