Sweet Violet, Clancy, and Greeneyed Gypsy - I have learned so much from all of you I'm humbled that I might have given you an inspiration! Thank you!

Miss Ruby, thank you! I'm excited that you might make these if you have time! They only take about an hour - well, that's for me - for you maybe 20 minutes!!

What a cool idea!!

Ruby, just make them taller, they'll look like gaiters on your boots. Very B-Western.

I got to see the boot covers in person and they are cute as they can be. I might even be able to make them without too much trouble!!

Madamekat posted these great spats made by Les Frivolites on Etsy.Madamekat!

http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5588912

I couldn't resist these because they had bloomin' flowers and they arrived today!

These have grommets and lacing up the back, an elastic band that fits under the shoe, and buttons and buttonholes. Even though these are soft leather, the artist has sewn boning up the sides for more stability which would be a great idea for longer boot covers than the ones I made in this Belle Academy thread. The workmanship and creativity of the Les Frivolities artist is wonderful and I highly recommend them!
