Materials you need at home:
- Exterior: Wool fabric, wool blends, denim, cord or other fabric with reasonable structure. If you use a softer fabric such as fleece, it will create a more slouchy boot. I also like to use wool cut from upcycled felted sweaters (one which has shrunk after going through a hot wash, for example) or soft woolen blankets. Felted sweaters can be thick, so you may need to go up a size. Instructions on how to felt a sweater are below.
- Lining: Cotton, linen, flannel or other breathable fabric.
- Insoles: Wool from felted woolen sweater or blanket.
- Soles: Leather or suede - I use an old skirt or jacket from the thrift store. You could use corduroy or denim for non-walkers.
- Spool of coordinating thread
- 4-6 binder clips (approximately 1” or 2.5cm), as pins will leave holes in your suede/leather. You could use small pegs or magic clips.
- Elastic (1/4" or 6mm wide) - 5-7" (15-18cm), depending on the boot size.
- Leather sewing machine needle if using medium weight or heavyweight leather for soles.
- If using a heavyweight wool, you might benefit from using a walking foot.
*Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with recycled fabrics. Look to accidentally shrunken sweaters, blankets and woolen skirts or trousers garments for inspiration.
