As for the construction of the patte...Thanks a lot!<br />As for the construction of the pattern. Just put an old sock on your foot, wrap painter's duct tape around the sock and then slip into the shoes to which you will add the boot uppers. Carefully mark/pencil the top of the shoe all he way around on the duct tape. If you now slip out of the shoe, you have the upper edge marked with pencil all around on the duct tape, now cut it off your feet at the arc from the leg to the toes (unfortunately that means cutting the sock, too). Carefully take apart the sock and shaped duct tape. Cut along the penciled line and then take the upper part (lie flat) for your pattern. Of course you have to add a seam allowance.<br />Hope this explanation helps.Kleidung um 1800https://www.blogger.com/profile/09187943106849398728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761447847535936705.post-52953380911637379322013-11-14T12:04:54.415+01:002013-11-14T12:04:54.415+01:00They look fabulous.

I'm slightly confused with the bit about the sock and how you get the pattern from that?M'ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697943030492173302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761447847535936705.post-18769785568660113132013-08-22T08:00:50.832+02:002013-08-22T08:00:50.832+02:00Wow!

First I intended to take an old black jeans, if only I'd found one in my closet, instead I've found the chintz in my stash!<br />I think for the best fit it is essential to go through the duct tape procedure, because simply adapting and altering the pattern in 'Every lady her own shoemaker' did not work properly.<br />You should give it a try, you're talented and full of creativity and this is not really difficult - just be prepared that your fingers will ache for a few days ;)Kleidung um 1800https://www.blogger.com/profile/09187943106849398728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761447847535936705.post-35438162042400408142013-08-13T12:52:52.384+02:002013-08-13T12:52:52.384+02:00Thank you, thanks a lot!

You should truly give it a try. <br />What I love best about the original boots is that they surely must have been altered and made up by a housewife. This does not require perfection in every detail, then and now there was an amateur at work :) It felt very authenitic to work that way. <br />After all the trial and error I got an idea how much more challenging it must be to build up a complete pair with all the leatherwork at the sole.Kleidung um 1800https://www.blogger.com/profile/09187943106849398728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761447847535936705.post-47264051054045131092013-08-13T12:41:50.884+02:002013-08-13T12:41:50.884+02:00Thank you, Jenni :) If you'd hop on a plane to...Thank you, Jenni :) If you'd hop on a plane to stay here for a week, I could manage to get you a pair...heehee!<br />Kleidung um 1800https://www.blogger.com/profile/09187943106849398728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761447847535936705.post-39998617102768160722013-08-12T18:35:22.437+02:002013-08-12T18:35:22.437+02:00That is so cool!
