Steve has been asking for a boot for Christmas for years. Apparently in his family they all had them growing up. This year I decided to tackle the project. So having never seen one, and with only a few things to go on - like it's red, has a toe, and a big can is inside I set out to create one. I stared with the green boot and Steve said it had more of a toe. Then I made the red one, which certainly has more toe, but again, not quite right, He said the toe wraps around. So, after some searching I came across a pattern that I hope is closer, although it eliminates the nifty lining for the can that I created. If the look is right, i'll rework the pattern so that it satisfies me and Steve's memories. Let me know what you think, does anyone (other than the great MT) have one of these Christmas boots? Also, i've stopped using Christmas fabric for my prototypes, i'm saving it for when I get this right.
