Camp booties

[Thadrick]

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?

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.

Nice work!

Great job! Isn't it satisfying when a plan comes together.

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.

Beautiful work!

It took me 2 attempts to succeed making a pair of infant moccasins for my great grandson for Christmas.  Simple ain't always easy!
