No mean feet...

I have had a pair of expensive sheepskin boots sat in my wardrobe unworn for many a year, so today I decided to go brave and chop them up!

They have always been too tall and tight around the top for my chubby calves, so they have only been worn for short bursts, before cutting off the circulation to my feet.

I won't fib, they were a pig to re-bind on my sewing machine, a snug fit and all that fluff!  But they are done; actually look fine when on, and perfect from a distance...


I reckon anyone close enough to see the wonky binding on the inside is too close, or grovelling just a little bit too hard ;)

And as today was an Inset Day, I took the kids to see Nativity3 - maybe even more brilliant than 1 and 2; we heart Mr Poppy!

A good day x

  1. I got to go see The Hunger Games tonight. Movies all round then. Great job on the boots. You can't tell they were tampered with.

  5. Very clever missus! Buying boots that fit my foot AND calf at the same time is a nightmare...

  10. I don't wear boots, either, due to largish calves. We're potentially moving north, though, so I may have to figure some tricks like this, too!
