RE: Make your own boots! with a few basic tools and some leather .......

in #life7 years ago

Wonderful! I have made a pair of leather boots at the John C. Campbell Folk School a few years back, and it isn't an easy process. I have collected various books and tools and am planning my next pair of shoes to make this year.

Thanks for the inspiration @steemama!! Gorgeous shoes!

Thank you so much for your comment :-), please send photo of the pair you made, wishing you the best with your next pair!

Better yet, I am going to make a post on it. They were made completely by hand and the person teaching had never made boot moccasins before, so there was a steep learning curve for us both. Your shoes are gorgeous, mine are functional. :-)

great idea, please send me a link on steemitchat :-)

It's my first pair. I will be making more, I am just trying to find some flexible soles.

(They aren't as gorgeous as yours.....but I had to start somewhere.)
