Need help making boots....And some tips about sewing...

Post by demonslyr » Mon Jun 21, 2004 9:30 pm

PLEASE! ANYONE! HELLPP!!! ;; I'm pretty new at this...and I really need help. I can't sew all that well, but I'm working on it, and the biggest problem I have right now is constructing boots, and clothes. ^^;; This is my first time actually constructing it on my own.

Scroll down to Nino's little picture, and there you have it. I was planing before hand to just tack, glue, tape or what-not, the fabric I was going to use over some shoes to make it simple...but I don't think that it would actually work.

Any tips on ANYTHING IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! ^^ Thanks!

what is she from? *is baffled*

shoe covers would probably work, especially since that's what they look like (with the fold and all)

I know I saw a pattern you could use for the top *looks*

I found it! http://tinyurl.com/3753l I would use the same fabric as on the shoe/boot covers.

For the sleeves I would steal an old shirt of my dad's and cut them off and affix them to the top- try a thrift store, you might get lucky and find a skirt that'd work too.

For the cape, take a big piece of cloth, hem it on all sides, gather along the top (near the two corners) and sew together, then attatch to the cord or whatever it is.
no leap in logic is too extreme... for RAGE!

Try stockings or knee high socks and matching sandles... that's what it looks like from my POV

just do shoe covers. Make some covers that go all the way up to your knee and have the rest of it cover the rest of you leg and your shoes. Instant boots!
