A Boot Refashion

Happy Year All! Just dropping by with a (fairly simple) boot refashion I completed last week. My sis bought me a pair of black fabric boots after I killed my black leather boots. The only problem is the calf area was too big - definitely a problem I've never encountered before. Since it was fabric, and not leather, I thought it would be super simple to punch some holes and make the boots snug to the top of my calf. Maybe if I'd had an awl it would have been simpler...but an upholstery sewing needle, latch hook, and velvet ribbon on clearance at Michael's did the trick!


$1.99 for the ribbon and a little time made all the difference. Love these now!
