Default Thank you!

Years ago, when I was bowling, you could buy a half cover that slipped on over the sole but not the heel and covered half of the top of your foot. It had an elastic piece that went behind the heel to hold it in place. It sort of looked like those new pot holders that are just 2 pieces and fit right over the end of your fingers.

Another idea would be to get some of the doctor's covers for their shoes and modify it to fit a bowling shoe. The doctor's shoes aren't enough protection, but would show you how to start.
I really like the Sewing Freebie sight! I am saving my scrapes of material to make dog pillows for a local no kill dog shelter my daughter volunteers at and it gave me some ideas! Meanwhile, I ripped an old shoe cover apart and using it for a pattern! Thank you for taking the time to post! Happy sewing!
