    the only part that may be a bit tricky is sewing the rounded edges if you haven't done it before but that is not as difficult as it seems if you use alot of pins. i started off sewing by making stuffed animals so for me the curves were nothing. these boots use alot of quilting skills like binding. i skipped the fusible binding because i spray basted instead. if you are worried about things lining up the fusible would help that, i didn't find it necessary. i used scrap batting instead of fleece for warmth and left out the foam in the insoles because i don't have any and can't get any locally(rural location) i used two layers of warm and soft and two layers of insulated batting for oven mitts. i am probably going to elasticise the next pair.

    Those are so sweet and would make great gifts for family and good friends.
    Suede would be nice too. Great job.

    Has anyone told Charisma that she has a boot pattern named after her? Hey Charisma, you need to make a pair of these. Bet they would come in handy in WA.
