Shoes knee high boots for mini

This looks like a fun project to try when I have the time. I think I may use it to finish off my Hunter x Hunter Gon cosplay, with some modifications.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

 

Oooh, thankies, I'll have to try this out when I get the materials. I was thinking about doing this since boots are so expensive, but wasn't sure about the shape of the peices. :3

 

Thanks seraphim; this looks like fun.

 

I have some tiny zippers I've been saving for just such an occasion! What materials would you use for the soles?

 

Perfect, thanks so much,
i've got a load of leather scraps i can use up now, won't be as fiddly as making human sized medieval shoes!!! LOL

 

I've made cloth shoes for Maerz, DoD-C, but those were simple things, like mules-styled slippers and ballet-styled slippers. (Fun fact! I twisted my foot really bad about two and a half years ago, and now I can't wear mules or sandles with one strap across the toes; I walk different and it doesn't stay on.)

At one point I was going to make him fluffy housewife slippers, but he just had that look... I stopped. Are the feet of male and female Dream of Doll children the same size?

 

For the bottom soles, I was thinking of using some black craft foam, and paint the raw edges black. Cheaper then taking apart porcelin doll shoes

 

Yeah! Thanks, I've been told Obitsu feet are MSD sized. I will have to try these :-0

Her feet are about 58mm long. My Luts boy feet are about 73mm and he can wear SD girls shoes. How long are your dolls feet?

 

A little known fact - Obitsus have tiny, ugly feet! The rest of them is so charming that I overlook this flaw :-). A friend of mine is working on sculpting alternate feet for them, I can't wait.

I failed..HORRIBLY!
probably doesn't help i'm useing a pair of streatchy blue jeans..

can someone tell me how exactly to sew this? XD
i think i got the footbackwards (you know, A-A and B-B kinda directions...or something)

 

looks great thanks!

 

thank you very much!

I started out sewing the top of the boot to the soul, than struggled with the leg parts XD

 

Looks like a great little pattern! I can't wait to try it out once my Narin boy gets here, but I might even try to size it down to fit an OD Tae . . .

 

waa ToT is there anyway that this can be put in some other program? D: for some reason the acrabat reader thing isnt working for me T-T;; /swt

sorry to bother @_@@!!!

 

man, this looks really interesting, especiallyt he thick card board substitute part XD, but what I want to know is, what can I use to make the front/toe part of the boots hard? Like in whatever shape I desire XD

 

I was thinking of this too, or 2) the sheets of cork they sell at the auto supply store, 3) a thicker piece of leather, or 4) even forming a sole out of fimo - that way you can form a heel if you want.

I just printed it out and I cant wait to try it. I just had an idea that I think I might try. What about making a lining and sewing it to the main fabric ( seam on the wrong side of both fabrics ) then pushing the lining inside. This way you wouldnt have to fold over at the top. After reading this, it sound a little complicated. Im going to give it a try. Ill keep you updated on my progress.

 

The pattern looks fairly easy to me. I think I'm going to give it a try this weekend. Or perhaps tomorrow if I can manage to find everything I want for it right now.

 

I want to make these so badly! I'm sure I could find some material to whip them up with, too... too bad I don't have my dolls yet, and don't have the money to get them anytime soon. Maybe I'll go ahead and try out the pattern, and if the boots turn out well I'll just send them to someone who already has one.

 

Oooooh there's a suede sale a JoAnne's this weekend. Might have to give this a try!

 

Ooh! These could turn into smexy mocassin-type boots for the elfie boys~ XDD Thank you for the pattern!

 

oh ya! I made some some great boots. I enlarged the pattern to fit an SD. I used fur outside with a cotton lining, oh did I mention there's a zipper in the back. (I just tried to write out the instructions but I guess it was too long , I ran out of space.) So if anyone wants directions leave me a message and I will get those to you. I will post pictures as soon as I can figure out how. T.mouse

 

Seems fun~~~~

I think I'm going to try it.

 

cool! i'm bookmarking this

I actually have a an old 1970's craft book where they used tire tread as the bottom soles of homemade sandles and the the sandles had good traction.

I'm thinking toy or RC car tires would be wide enough to work. That would also add to look of some heavy types of boots.

 

I want to make like, sweater boots out of these I'll have to try sometime ;D

 

Does anyone have pictures of these boots? I'd really really like to see!

 

I second this.

 

Here are 2 pics of Kimiko wearing the boots, that I made using this patterns, to go with het Jedi-outfit. I made them in brown fake-leather.

Thanks to all who gave patterns, directions, encouragement and pictures!
I have some ideas now -all I need now is time!!!

 

Very cool, just found out about your pattern through an email list. Now to find time to make them.

 

Toy and RC car tires will be too thick to cut.

However there is this stuff in the housewares section (with the Contact Paper and shelf paper) called "nonskid" which is easy to cut, the right thickness, made of rubber-like material, comes in many colors and would provide excellent "traction."

It's meant to put under things that you don't want to slip on a shelf or a table.

There are also coasters and placemats made of it if you don't want to buy a whole roll, and these actually come in even more colors.

 

thats really great for my upcoming MSD....what MSD were these designed for Seraphim? (want to double check since I won't have my MSD for at least a month....and Miyuki wouldnt be caught dead in boots)

 

Oh these look great - thanks for all the useful hints. Off to find some leather scraps and a thimble if I need to hand sew.

 

it looks like a really good patern, I'm excited to try it out

 

I love homemade shoes! I'm going to give this a try the minute my first girl walks in to the room. Or show up at the PO...

 

thanks for the pattern, this looks like a nice afternoon project!

 

Great post! I was thinking about making my own boots, becaue everywhere i look theres nothing but punky goth shoes.
For the soles, what about eva foam (i actually have flipflops made out of it.) ?You can also get it under the "foamies" name in the kids section of craft stores. Plus, it comes in black brown, and a whole bunch of colors and verious thicknesses. Glue several pieces together (stacked)to add height and stability.....

 

Go buy some flip flops or sandles or something at a $1 store and cut those up was my thought for the soles.

 

Thanks for posting this. I am horrible at making shoes but I will definatly have to give this a shot!

 

I can't wait to try this out. I always need new shoes. Thank you.

 

Thanks for this! I love your patterns and this will be a good one for my MSD elf boy XD Shoes have always been beyond my sewing ability, haha. Again, thanks for taking the time to work this out and post for us~

 

This is a nice pattern I will definately use this thank you ^^

 

Has anyone made these boots and have pictures of them? I'd love to see! Is pvc tape? I noticed Seraphim said she used that along with black paint. Thanks!

 

I am soooo going to try this. I have a new doll in the mail and he'll be the only one without shoes when he gets here. Thanks for posting this!

 

I've made them on sd-size to:
