At some point I will post with a collection of photos of other accessories I've made but today I'm sharing with you the boots my friend Rosie helped me to make a few weeks ago <3
Reason for making them?
I had a pair of Voodoo Dolls boots in black/grey that I got for £7 several years ago in a sports shop. I absolutely loved them and usually wore them with skinny jeans and legwarmers in the winter months.
Unfortunately they got holes in them and I (stupidly!) wore them out on a snow day earlier this year and they were destroyed :(
I'd wanted to make more since as the company doesn't make them anymore so I bought some cheap fake Uggs on eBay and, after months of searching, found some pink (with white tips) faux fur I really liked and for a good price :D
What next?
Finally managed to find time to go over to Rosie's to hang out, eat junk food and look at pretty things we want to buy/make online and she got her sewing machine out for me.
These were really easy to make! We just cut the length of fur to cover the height of the boot, cut the required width too and then sewed the fabric together to make a 'sleeve'.
We then place this over the boot, folded about 1cm of the fabric over the top of the boot, hand sewed it into place and we were done!
I may add some detachable accessories such as ribbon and little stars and other sparkly bits and pieces just to make them a bit more interesting and unique.
The finished product
I am really pleased with the result and they are SO comfy! I bought a black pair of the same boots to re-make the black ones I mentioned earlier as the fur is still in pretty good condition, so that will be my next project! :)
Let me know what you guys think and tell me if I babble too much! Also let me know if you have something you think I'd be interested in following x
