Last week I seen a post on facebook with some boots with embroidery on
the side.

I shared the picture with the comment "If I still wore boots like this I would
so be adding embroidery to them".

Than I made the comment about searching goodwill and other thrift stores
to find old use boots to practice on. Next thing I know 2 friends are offering
to send me their old boots for practice KNOWING full well that I have never
done this yet and I could end up messing them up.

One friend said "if they mess up that's fine I will cover them with my pants
leg, if not then I get a snazzy cool pair of boots".

The other friend said" Not a problem. I haven't worn them in a while and they
are old. If it works out great for you and I get pretty new boots".

So with that said come summertime I will be venturing into embroidery on
boots. Now to research was of getting that done. I had seen the technique
demonstrated at a show, but there was so many people there standing in
the way that I couldn't see all the steps and details involved.

I will post pictures when I get them done.
