Stick Boots

[N14ND]

I apologize for the crooked pictures. (Or maybe the Fox is going vertical...)
I bought a used Consew industrial sewing machine last year during the lockdown. I finally used it yesterday. Made the first stick boot out of some old leather. I made some patterns if anyone needs something like this. It was my second attempt. These patterns work well. I glued it to an aluminum backing ring. I cut a slit in the front of the boot because the grip is not removable on the right side and it needs to fit over the grip. I used waxed thread and a baseball stitch to close up the front. I didn’t need to cut the slit on the left but I wanted the practice.
