Make Ugg Style Snow Boots

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm going to try my hand at making an Ugg style snow boot for my toddler. I've done a bit of research and am trying to decide between using shearling scraps or rabbit fur hides. Never worked with hair on hide before and am expecting a few surprises.

Couple Questions:

The exterior of ugg boots are nice suede and I'm trying to figure out if I should use a separate piece of suede attached to the hairless side of the hides. I don't see how they can get those big shearling pieces with a perfect uniform suede finish on the back using just one hide. Any opinions?

I'm not sure what to do with the edge of fur hide, possibly sew on a trim or edge binding around the tops and edges or maybe just do an overlay with thin decorative strips of 3oz, kind of like what you'd see with wingtips.

Thanks in advance,

KD
