I've been so scared of making my own boot covers for years but I'm going to face my fears! This totally helped! I haven't decided if I want to make them permanent, but I haven't seen someone else do the gold trim like this and my cosplay needs it as well, fingers crossed I have a good result!
You're the first person who showed how to keep the bottom a different colour and not have the bootcover cover everything, thank you so much!!! this is a lifesaver
I'm going to be making boots like Frieren's from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. They're not a stretchy fabric, but, would you recommend a stretchy fabric anyway, or is there a particular type of fabric you like for things like that? Anyway, this is a super helpful and detailed tutorial, so, thank you!
A non-stretch fabric will also work, but it will either need a zipper closure or will be a looser fit (think like cowboy boot type fit). The stretch fabric is so the boot can stretch over my heel to put it on or take it off. For Frieiren specifically, they do make stretch pleather fabrics if you wanna go the stretch route, but it won't look as substantial as her leather traveling boots. A zipper closure with a non-stretch pleather may be your best bet as a compromise between difficulty and accuracy. If you want a true leather boot, then that gets into some serious stiffener fabrics so that it can hold its shape with that looser fit. Those fabrics are much harder to work with and may require specialized tools.
Maybe a yard of fabric if you're planning on lining it like on the video? If the shoe sizes, calf sizes and lengths, are much bigger than maybe a yard and a half to be extra careful.
Thanks for the help!! Im going to be making mine with 2mm eva involved to make the top of the boot flare out to give a more cartoonish look for my character, this really helped for the bottom part, thank you!
interesting side note.... when you said you got your boots on Depop, I went there to see what I might find. I tried using the name I use for my cosplay stuff (Bill Quemeese) and the site said, 'please don't use emoji's for your name', weird. I did find a different way to use the site, but they didn't have anything in my size
Yah resale sites are always hit or miss when it comes to finding stuff. I also use Mercari and between the two I can usually get pretty close to finding what I want. A lot of people have recommended Threadup too, but I haven't tried it yet.
you are probably not gonna like this answer but...I'm a comics girl. I've never kept up with the DC cinematic universe or any of the live action adaptations. I have however read A LOT of comics and a lot of Supergirl. So I'm afraid I can't say which is my favorite since I haven't seen any of the Supergirl shows/movies. But I can tell you a lot about the comic books!
@@ColleenCosplay No probs. I sent an email out to the various heads of the Colleen Cosplay Australasian Division advising that reading Supergirl comics ONLY, was quite an acceptable form of fandom (I told 'em it was from the very top) and it's all good. Thanks for the reply

@@ColleenCosplay Thank you so much for the advice!
Just learned that punctuation marks sound like “uh” and “eh”. lol. So cute. Love the video. Fantastic job.
I'm trying to use old boots to do something similar for a Robin Hood/medieval boot strap look, so thank you!
I'm glad I could help! Best of luck with your project!
If I'm making this for a child and adult how much fabric would I need?
Maybe a yard of fabric if you're planning on lining it like on the video? If the shoe sizes, calf sizes and lengths, are much bigger than maybe a yard and a half to be extra careful.

You just saved me so much money.

Yay Supergirl's back. Quick question - Who is your fave supergirl ? Melissa Benoist, Laura Vandervoort or Helen Slater ??
