I'm back again with another boot cover DIY tutorial and this has been my favorite so far out of all the boot covers I've made because I've incorporated a lot of stuff I learned from my previous boot covers and the result exceeded my expectations. There were a couple of fitting problems and wayward stitches along the way but that was just me being sloppy due to con crunch lol.
So, yeah. This is part two of my Yang Xiao Long post-timeskip worklog series.
(Part 1 | Complete Worklog)
Materials:
- Fabric
- I basically just used two colors of non-stretch fabric here. Leather types would probably be well-suited for this and you wouldn't need to interface but my sewing machine wouldn't be able to handle it so I had to improvise. Work with whatever is easier for you.
- Don't forget to have enough to include the lining
- Interfacing (if you're using a normal fabric like i do)
- 2 Metal zippers
- For the zipper detail on the front... or if you can find exactly huge ones like those from the reference.
- 2 hidden zippers (can at least reach from ankle to calf length)
- Metal rings
- At least 1" in radius
- A pair of heeled, close-toed shoe for the base
- I find making boot covers on a pair of high-heeled shoes easier because of the wider shin-feet angle
- Cling wrap
- Masking/Duct tape
- Pattern paper
