⛸️ Skate Blade (White – Double Layer)

Blade Assembly
Whipstitch two panels together.
Optional: insert a thin strip of stuffing for shape.
Gently curve:
- Front 5–6 sts curl upward
- Back 4–5 sts lift slightly
- Bottom stays flat
This creates the carved skate blade profile.
🪡 Attaching the Blade
Position blade under sole:
- Blade runs full length of sole
- Slightly extends past toe and heel
- Centered under heel block
Sew along both sides of blade directly to sole edges.
This locks the skate upright and prevents wobble.
🎀 Final Assembly
- Sew tongue inside boot
- Add snowflake patch
- Attach all bobble eyelets
- Lace boot
- Roll cuff outward
- Attach blade
- Shape boot gently by hand
Repeat for second skate.
