{Make old things new again!} Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with recycled fabrics. Look to accidentally shrunken sweaters, woolen skirts or trousers and gently-used leather/corduroy garments for inspiration.

Materials you need at home:
- About a 1/2 yard (50 metre) of fabric for the exterior Heel + Toe
- About a 1/2 yard (50cm) of fabric for the lining Heel + Toe
- About a 1/2 yard (50cm) of fabric for the insole and outer sole combined.
- If making the taller height boots- add an additional 8” (20cm) to your Heel + Toe amounts. , , Other Supplies & Notions
- Spool of coordinating thread
- 6-8 Binder clips (approx 1” or 2.5cm) as pins will leave holes in your suede/leather
- You could use small pegs or magic clips
- Elastic, see notes below
- Scrap of ribbon or twill tape for loops
- Leather sewing machine needle if using medium or heavy weight leather for soles
,
, Elastic - Tie Back boots need up to approx 40” (1m) of elastic for ties. I like to use cord elastic or even lace elastic if you are going for a more feminine look.
- For the internal elastic version you will need approx 8” (20cm) of 1/4” elastic. If you are using wider elastic or using lightweight fabric for the boots, you may need to add another 1-2” (2.5 - 5cm).
Twig + Tale
From my treehouse studio hidden within the New Zealand forest, I draft clothing and toy patterns that capture the essence of childhood storybooks. To me, sewing is a magical journey, full of adventure and the wonderful tales that each material holds. I believe in reusing fabrics when possible and bringing new life to old things, in spending time (sometimes together, sometimes alone) to let the spirit run free.
Twig & Tale is for everyone who shares a love of creativity and an adventurous spirit—beginner sewers especially! It's a celebration of the innocence of childhood and the wonder of nature. It's about comfy clothes and warm things like hugs and capes and coats. It's about handmade, love, and imaginary play—featuring classic, simple patterns that inspire us all to tell a story.
