Description For FDP's "Cosplay on a Budget" panel at Anime Evolution, we decided we would talk about making boot-covers as a way to save money. I snapped some photos of my WIP Dilandau boots so we could use it for the panel. Unfortunately, we never got our projector so we couldn't show the tutorial, but I made one for DA.
I really don't know how to explain sewing so if it doesn't make sense, I'm sorry I tried to make it as straightforward as I could.

thats what I was thinking! I'd probably combine this with another tutorial I've seen that I liked. Most tutorials want you to glue it to the boot but I dont have money to keep buying different boots that fit well and are comfortable to glue up and cover so I need things that I can take off later without worrying if its gonna slip off
Gonna use this for my Mettaton cosplay and my Summer Outfit!Flame Princess cosplay

Thank you SO much for this tutorial, I've just started making my first boot cover and I needed one that showed me an easy way to do the bottom. This made things so much better to slip on and slip off! Thank you!
