I am not sure if I mentioned before, but I used this boot pattern for them and to be honest I think they turned out quite for never having used pleather before. They velcro in the back and fit quite well on the dolls foot. I wouldn't suggest wearing socks with the boots though, I tried and they weren't quite big enough. If you happen to make them bigger, I don't see why not though.
I did have a cut a new piece of pleather for one of the stripes I believe. I got frustrated and let me tell you going slow and steady is everything with this stuff. The small stitches help everything hold together better too.
I thought using the hot glue would cause the pleather to melt, but it seemed fine. I don't have that hot of a glue gun, that could be why, but I was happy that it didn't.
I think that is all from me today, I really want to start on Sailor Chibi Moon's outfit, but I'm having thoughts of restarting Sailor Moon's now. It looks fine, it's just really tight on the doll. Oh wells, I have to improve and all that jazz. So until next time, have a wonderday!
P.S. The store Hobby Lobby just opened right down the road from us. I haven't had the chance to pop in yet, but we now have a JoAnns, Michaels and Hobby Lobby all within walking distance from one another. Let the battle of craft stores begin!
P.S.S. I realized I forgot to share that since JoAnns got some Doctor Who fabric I was able to make some pajama pants for myself and I had enough left over fabric to make some for my doll. I'll try to remember to take a pick and show you because I love them! That's all for now, TTFN!
