I've revised my pattern for my calcei senatorii a bit. I think I will procede with the two piece pattern since the straps will cover up the seams and it is actually less sewing than attaching the tongue, which would be rather complicated.
I've also extended the front of the back part where it joins the front, so that there is a better overlap and I've enlarged the tongue significantly so that it provides more coverage. I can always trim it back later.
I start cutting tonight. I will post pictures of my progress.
