Members kiwican Posted June 27, 2017 Members Report Posted June 27, 2017 I really would like to make a pair of boots. Quote
Members goody2shoes Posted June 28, 2017 Author Members Report Posted June 28, 2017 You should, maybe some desert boots the uppers are only three pieces and you don't have to make them on a last, I will try and find some info for you. First pair I made I covered the foot in cling film then in masking tape then drew the boot on the masking tapped foot and cut the pattern pieces off added seem allowance lasting allowance and toe room and sewed it all together many many times until I got it right! There may be an easier way! Quote

"In my spare time I make shoes"...that doesn't even exist in my world! Good for you. In my spare time I make belts and holsters for me and bags and whatever she wants for my bride. I've kind of fallen into biker accessories...due to working with a Harley driver. Didn't see that one coming! I could do shoes if I put my mind to it. Hmmm.....Not everyone needs holsters, or knife sheaths, or biker accessories...but EVERYONE need shoes... well, except for my wife. She goes barefoot in Colorado winters. That girl ain't right! http://fav.me/d5x7cl0 For the barefooted maiden. Everyone does need shoes, you could make some cool leather boot sleeves to go over motorbike boots! Quote
