Thought of the day.
- Take masking tape and cover the shoe.
- Trim the tape to make a pattern, split the pattern along the back seam.
- Use the pattern to cut out a piece of tartan fabric.

The edge of the fabric could be fray checked by sewing a very thin piece of bind tape to the edges, ribbon folded in half might work for the binding tape. I may also be possible to simply stitch around the edge of the fabric to delay fraying until the glue has set.
