r2thekore Report post Posted October 15, 2013 I have recently acquired these extremely destroyed boots and I would REALLY love to remake them. HOWEVER: Around most of the edging of this is a nice bubble edge that curves around corners nicely and I can't seem to figure out how that look was achieved. The ridges on the tongue look to be just straight stitched with some sort of padded backing? I was hoping someone on here could give me advice or at least point me in the right direction. I have searched for "Rounded edges" and am not getting what i'm looking for. Thanks in advance! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forbeskm Report post Posted October 15, 2013 I am guessing regular stitching with a foam pad sewn in. Usually you have a pad in the tongue anyways so they did some decorative stitching over top. Check out auto upholstery they do a lot of that kind of thing. Try some decent vinyl remnants at your local fabric store, auto trim supply, shoe finding place. Then contact cement some foam to of a sample piece for the tongue and then sew your stitches to get your look. An auto upholstery place should have some foam if you can't find a shoe finding place nearby. A shoe repair shop if you have one handy can help you as well. At least I think that is what you were asking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r2thekore Report post Posted October 16, 2013 Thank you very much for the reply! running with the lead in the auto-industry for tutorials and have already found better results. I think I was looking in ALL the wrong places, and the fact that it is just a regular stitch with padding search terms in regards to edging, bubble finish, and rounded edge weren't really showing up. I'll get some samples/scraps and practice a bunch to see if I can achieve this look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
