Find a pair of boots that are different  

using a sharp razor knife, separate the sole from the upper art of the boot

see the stitch line where the Toe of the boot is stitched to the boot itself?

that is where you cut the boot in half at

Use the eyelets  to line up and keep straight the 2 boots.  Sew the boots together

Place the sole that you cut off on a sheet of paper and trace around it,  make a mark where the toe was cut, Turn the sole 180 degrees and line up the marks for the toe cut subtract your stitch line,  trace the sole.   
Here you have a decision to make. Make the purse the width of the boot or bump it out a little

as you can see by my trace line , I bumped mine out  fold your paper in half  mark center. Draw your bump out on one half fold cut to make it the same

take this and cut the pattern out

set it on another paper,  center it up make this pattern 1 1/2” larger all the way around

mark center   Cut your leather using this pattern   Glue/ fold the edge to the line of the fist pattern  you now have a piece of leather that is 3/4” larger than your pattern1BEBF893-4F48-43F2-8BCB-C6D74AD53ED4.jpeg.a82248af787282fc8150ec37a85af366.jpeg

 

line I your center mark with the center stitch line on the heel of the back of the boot. Turn inside out and sew the bottom onto the boot

tje rest is just adding a gusset. Like you do for any purse and advance strap.

Here is a thing I have been holding back

when I removed the boot from the sole I did not use the toe of the boot  well, yes I did lol. 
I sewed the 2 toes together and used the tongue as the flap

wallah!!!   Change pouch
