Handmade Boots

Wool/ Flannel hand sewn boots
I wanted new boots and had a quality piece of wool lined with flannel from a hooded cloak. I basically winged the entire project except for the bottom part of the upper, that I did make from a basic shoe pattern. The water shoes I wore this summer had the uppers falling apart so I cut the uppers off the water shoes. I then sewed the new boots uppers on. As I mentioned I winged this piece so keep that in mind if you ask me questions. These boots were 100% hand sewn and cost a total of about $15. Since they are water shoe soles they should work in wet tahoe weather. I had to alter my boots a little, really just cause I wanted to. The black bands are a strips of snaps that I picked up at a thrift store. The boots SCREAMED for them !!!!!
