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
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.
ReplyDeleteWell done creating your cosy toes boots.
ReplyDeleteSo clever! Now you can add some sheepskin cuffs to your coat!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteCouldn't live without my ugg boots in winter!! Warm and cozy, and keeps my ankles warm too.
ReplyDeleteVery clever missus! Buying boots that fit my foot AND calf at the same time is a nightmare...
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the boots! We have nativity 1 on DVD, but still in its wrapper, will try and watch it this year!
ReplyDeleteI have that same problem. good for you for making your boots usable again. what will you use the off-cuts for?
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea! Custom boots, they look fab :-)
ReplyDeleteI have that problem too. But, what have you in mind for the left over sheepskin
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThat was a brave thing to do and the boots look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI hope they're keeping your feet nice and warm!
