I needed some warm winter books, so took the tie back pattern and cut it out in sheepskin salvaged from a coat liner. Only one layer so easy to do. I have wide shins so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pull them on, so I left most of the back seam open and put in a zip with a fabric zip guard, but in fact they would have been just fine without it, (and much easier, as the sheepskin grips well over the ankle. I have glued on a rubber sole, waxed the exterior well and they are so far standing up to damp well. I used the soles from the Wayfarer pattern as I was a bit concerned about the lack of left and right feet, and then gathered the toe piece asymmetrically and it worked very well. This is the first shoe (boot) I have made with an external join of sole and top, and I am happy with them.

A awesome pattern. Easy to make. I love these beautiful, warm and comfortable boots.
I’m going to make a lot of these boots.

I saw them on Facebook and had to sew this lovely boots. Made a normal Pair and some with a rubber sole. So I have nice boots for the cold time of the year.

Love these tie back boots and they came together quite quickly. The instructions are comprehensive as usual with Twig & Tale. I’ll be making these for many years.

A great pattern T&T. Quick & easy to sew will be good Christmas presents for all the family

Simple and easy patterns or beginners to experience sewers. Love the extra helped if needed of videos. Got one pair and planning on more. Would reckon buying and enjoying this pattern.

My partners slippers were beyond repair so I whipped up this pattern from some wool and corduroy. They were so simple and warm. a comfy option for around the house. Bonus points is that they fit into his crocs when he runs outside. I'm looking at making myself a pair and of course I now need to make my daughter a pair.

Such a great, easy pattern, super comfy boots and a great way to use up the scraps from other project. A big winner in this house
