Members Thadrick Posted 19 hours ago Members Report Posted 19 hours ago Well, long story. I purchased a plains boot patern from tandy thinking I could alter the design to fit my liking. Basicly a pair of booties to wear inside my tent when camping in deep snow. I altered the pattern so they would be triple warm for my aging feet. I wear a size 10 logger but knowing I would be using bark tanned wool inside for insulation I decided size 12 would work. It didnt. They were very tight... So... I gave them to my gdaughter. SHE LOVES THEM!!! I guess Ill have to try again but go larger yet to fit my feet? anyhow, this is the pattern and these are the booties I made. Bark tanned inside the lower portion and long hair wool on top . I bet her feet stay warm? Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted 8 hours ago CFM Report Posted 8 hours ago Wow, those are nice-looking teepee creepers, lol! They should be plenty warm. I finally made a pair the other day that fit; the sizing is a bugger to get right. My first try was too big, the second too small.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

Members DwightT Posted 3 hours ago Members Report Posted 3 hours ago Ah geez. I made a pair of boots from that pattern pack once, when I was in high school back in the '70s. Amazing that the pattern is still kicking around. I'll have to go dig through my old stuff and see if I still have the patterns and maybe make another set. My memory was that they were pretty comfortable. Quote
