Tie Back Boots sewing pattern

Exterior: Wool fabric, wool blends, denim, cord or other fabric with reasonable structure. If you use a softer fabric such as fleece, it will create a more slouchy boot. You can also use woolen blankets and felted sweaters for the exterior of your boots. Lining: You can use pretty much any cosy fabric. Cotton, flannel, and fleece are all suitable. You can also use fluffy fabrics such as sherpa or shearling; however, you may need to go up a size. Insoles: Soft comfortable fabric, such as wool from blankets or felted woolen sweaters. Soles: I like to use leather or suede - I use an old skirt or jacket from the thrift store. You could also use denim or warmer, thicker fabrics and apply paint-on latex or another similar application to reduce slip.
