Suede Boots

I wanted a pair of soft soled boots. So I went to the local Flea market, where I knew there was a lady who sold suede. After a $32 purchase and some creative pattern making here is what I came up with. The bottoms are made from a left over piece of heavy leather I have had for years. The rest is from the suede I purchased, not including the 2 mini purses and sones steampunk aviator goggles. The pattern is winged for the most part, I just tried things until I found a setup I liked :-) The one thing I would change with the way the soles are sewn to the uppers. The sinew will wear threw quickly and an in search of a better, recycled bottom.
