I never signed up for cobbling, and I don't think I'd pass the entrance exam, but after the pair of books I made for myself
I thought I'd keep going.
I have made a pair for God Daughter's Christmas present,
And then a teacher at school asked for a pair too
Making them involved a bit of Heath Robinson thinking: The only clear space to set up the Bernina was a bit high for using the foot pedal. And the machine then had to go on a stool to give enough room to move the boot around, So I stood at the desk to make them.
I think they worked OK
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Fab boots well done. I hope the lucky owners realise they have bespoke boots!
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Benta! They are so wonderful and unique boots! How great your sewing machine can sew so thick materials.

Very ingenious engineering Benta - both on how to sew the boots and on the final result!
