They DEFINITELY need elastic though which I forgot to add in my eagerness to get one sewn up to see what it looks like. I am yet to make it's pair andblog them, but am thinking of adding a little velcro strapo at the back since I'd have to go in and unpick to add the elastic to the first boot now. Love your leather versions. We must think alike as I had also planned to rip off the robeez boots my son used to wear until I came across that pattern on etsy. I was trying to think of nice soft fluffy inside fabrics and you know I have some of that bamboo towelling just sitting in a box somewher, so thanks for your post now I think I'll give that a go!Guestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-68289495195877285732009-04-14T15:03:00.000+10:002009-04-14T15:03:00.000+10:00http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6198236 Here...http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6198236 Here's the link to the shop I mentioned.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576666721273174380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-35526583699188359742009-04-14T11:31:00.000+10:002009-04-14T11:31:00.000+10:00you are like the little cobbler elves who make sho...you are like the little cobbler elves who make shoes while the rest of us sleep!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994198352841571221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-18719758077981091832009-04-13T21:51:00.000+10:002009-04-13T21:51:00.000+10:00You are one seriously determined gal!
