    I've got a lovely pair of deadstock suede 40's (I think) Oxfords, and they are a tad narrow and sooooo stiff I daren't wear them out of the house. Are there any secrets to softening up this material without ruining them? Cheers!

    Pattern from existing garment - sewing newbie!

    I've just got a sewing machine for Christmas and am a complete newcomer to sewing.
