VandorWolf — Boot-cover Tutorial

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.

ino89777 [2010-08-25 15:59:09 +0000 UTC]

Hay this is awesome vandor. I have never done it this way but you can also cover the boot in plastic rap,then duck tape over. After your boot is fully ducked taped you cut it off and you have a intent pattern to work off, but wen you go to trace it out remember to give it just a bit more sewing room. That's what I did for my sisters stein boots. But wen I have more cosplays to come,I'll for sure try this out as well. Thanks for the Tutorial ^_^

wolfgirl21 [2010-08-25 15:08:25 +0000 UTC]

A big help for sewing tips is to show pictures of the inside where the actual stitching is so people can see where you're putting things.
