How To Cover Cosplay Shoesby ~Norarara

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Artisan Crafts

BIG FILE ALERT!

for SketchMaster11 on YouTube, who asked a couple of months ago on how to make my Vanitas Boots.
@-@ between college summer courses, my computer dieing and work though, I haven't had a chance to sit down and make up a video on how to make them. @-@ so instead I sat down and made up a rough tutorial on how to make boot tops in general. I was a stupid panda in making the first set though, in that I did not take any pictures what-so-ever of how designing the pattern turned out. Hopefully you can get through the process of how I did it via the diagrams.

Red = Toe,
Purple = Outer Ankle
Orange = Inner Ankle
Green = Sewing Pins

kinda half@ssed and done quickly in photoshop, and its more wordy than anything else, but unfortunately this is the best I have at the moment. @-@ sorry hun. I hope it gets you started in a general direction.

Part 1 CONTINUED: ((didnt know my text was cut off... xP curse you photoshop!))
*or a new pair of sole inserts can better protect your feet, if you're worried about buying used shoes. Generally speaking it should fall within your comfort level all around, but when looking at costs of the full costumes, you may need to budget yourself wisely. Something to consider.

Will this be the same method if you need to make thigh highs?

~Norarara Feb 2, 2013

pretty much. The only difference is that the 'boot top' extends up the calf of the leg. Just when you're building parts 2 and 3 in the actual pattern (the parts that connect around the back of the heel) use longer pieces of fabric.
Also if you want to make sure that the piece do not slip, you can roll up your pants and pin the pattern in place to make sure it stays upright around the knee.

Thanks for the help earlier. it realy helped....Sadly I forgot oto buy zipper so I cant finish the boots untile friday.

Got an lil question. I started making mine Vanitas boots.

But now I am an bit confused. I sewed the scrap pieces together. and the result Is what I wanted.

For the real deal. do I need to cut them apart again or place it on the red work from there or ?
I realy could use some help

~Norarara Dec 31, 2012

yup. cut the scrap pieces apart and just use those as a normal pattern. just remember to give yourself enough of a seam allowance when you go to reverse the pattern

*Slyer0 Dec 31, 2012

Ok Thank you. very much

This how far I am now

~DreadHawk93 Aug 30, 2012

how do u get those square black things in front of the boots at the bottom and what r they called?

~Colour-Servant Feb 17, 2012

amazing tutorial <3

~Kaseii Jan 25, 2012

This is so great! Thank you so much <3

One question though, can you think of any way to make the boot cover removable, rather than gluing it on to the shoe? I've been fighting with ways to do it myself...
