Also couches. Look for leather couches in the free section of craigslist or such. Usually at least the back panel is salvageable, which can be something like 3x6.
I'm a country girl I'd never even heard of steam punk b4 Threadbanger...... Not many if any ppl. around here dress like that but I love being exposed to new things and new ideas!! Love you threadbanger!!!!
I am going to Barcelona, but I want to keep my tennis shoes on everywhere. I am going to try to make spats for my tennis shoes, so I can keep them on when we go to the fancy events.Thank you for this vid.
spats have been used by the military throughout the world for hundreds of years (seriously) they used to make theirs by hand so as long as your hand doesn't cramp out you should be good to make yours by hand also.
This is helpful... but it seems like a lot of the video is cut out. I'm not too thrilled about the video editing. It seems to jump ahead quite a bit when it could have more information.
Thanks for sharing this informational video. I'm going to try incorporate some of your ideas into making me some tall spats so that I look like I'm wearing fashion boots. I just can't find any "real" fashion boots to fit my very wide calves.
I'm using this for a similar concept as you. I'm going to cover boots that have lace-up. Possibly the only boots that wide-calved folks can wear. (You could trace a store pair with lace-up too.) I just need to make them a little taller so it can flap over as pirate boots.
It's hard to find good jockey caps... mine is woven right now, and I need to upgrade to something more durable. This video is great, I'll be making some spats soon!
I am a Springfield Missouri Central High School Kiltie. (Scotish drum and bugle corp. You should look us up 😉 we are pretty awesome!) We wear spats with our outfit! This is cool. We also wear Kilts. You should make a Kilt. That would be freaking amazing.
I am attempting to do a spat out ov an older pair of side zip up boots. I just can't seem to wrap my head around how to make this happen. Why? I don't know. But I been staring at this already cut out piece ov bomb red leather boot I have taken the soul off of. Literally staring at it. Attempting to figure this out. . I got nothin. Can anyone help? Please? I'm getting all teary eyed here and quite thirsty. Being I been I. My shed here in Phoenix AZ for for days now hoping it will just hit me on how to make this happen! But this zipper is throwing me off and the fast it don't open up all the way. The red leather I'm using for my spat is 11" tall which is 2 inches taller than the boot it will be going on if this helps any. On a size 9 womans shoe
Did you ever succeed in figuring this out? I'm attempting the same, searched the web after dismantling my boots, and found your comment. My reasoning is that it doesn't matter if the zipper opens fully if I'm leaving it in, which seems the easiest approach (although not as fancy as, let's say, a line of buttons). In theory, I should be able to slip into the spat contraption prior to any shorter shoe, and then figure out a way to close the rubber band I should attach at the bottom ..... right? Yes? Maybe?
one piece is the side without buttons. the two smaller pieces are the parts where the buttons and the button holes go. That's why she said to cut the fabric pattern apart and trace them. So you have three pattern pieces.
Corinne dressing extremely hot today! That was a great tutorial, very well presented though I've one question. Aside from looking cool what are spats for? Do they protect your shoes or something?
We have to do gangster costumes for a rally, and for some insane reason I volunteered to make the spats for the guys. I wasn't even too sure what spats even were. :| But after watching your video I am not concerned at all. I even have some white soft vinyl so, how vegan is that?? I know it doesn't have to be vegan but after she went to the effort to teach me how, I can at least consider her opinions. I love this spats concept and now I have ideas for me just for fun, so Yay...Thx so much!
where was this toot two weeks ago!? i sooooo could have used it for animecon 09 (was a total steampunk mechanic) it was a pain in my arse to make my own pattern and try to figure it out. oh well atleast i learned something! 8< -snip snip-
Can you make an easy tutorial for a make your own newsboy hat? I'm going to be a steampunk mechanic and I feel like any steampunk mechanic needs a newsboy hat. Thanks guys :)
cool as sh1t guys .... thanks sooooo much! Spats are very cool and I will be getting several pairs (can't make 'em myself just yet) as soon as I can find good ones that are affordable! Rock on!

I don't know if they mentioned it, but charity shop leather jackets are a good source of cheap leather.
Also couches. Look for leather couches in the free section of craigslist or such. Usually at least the back panel is salvageable, which can be something like 3x6.
Steam punk is wicked!! the music the clothes and of course the inventions!!!! all awesome
I'm a country girl I'd never even heard of steam punk b4 Threadbanger......
Not many if any ppl. around here dress like that but I love being exposed to new things and new ideas!!
Love you threadbanger!!!!
Zoe Morrigan KNOWS how-to a HOW-TO video. Excellent professional instruction. Thank you!
omg thread bangers you save the day once again! i've been looking for a tutorial on how to make spats. thank you!
I remember when this came out 😭 I still love you guys! #threadhead4life
spats should be brought back. there was such class to style in the good old days
I am going to Barcelona, but I want to keep my tennis shoes on everywhere. I am going to try to make spats for my tennis shoes, so I can keep them on when we go to the fancy events.Thank you for this vid.
great spats, and that zipper trimmed felt hat is real chic. Corrine sure can work those Cocktail hats.
You Guys and Gals @ the Banger ROCK!!
Thanks so much for all you share.
You guys rock the Steampunk DIY groove - I am thoroughly inspired!
THIS IS SO INFORMATIVE! What happened?!?😂😂
Awesome. I saw non-video version of this and couldn't really figure it out. So good to see it in motion!
Excellent how-to; Rare to find someone who knows what they are doing-I think I'm going to make a pair for work out of canvas. Thank yOu SO MUCH!
* VIOLENTLY RIDES TRICYCLE * HELL FUCKIN YEAAAAAAAAH!
Yes. you can find the leather needles in the needle section of your craft store.
This is too perfect--I'm planning a steampunk meetup next month-ish and this is great inspiration! Thanks!
Making some Spats for my Joker outfit. Thanks for this tutorial!
Love it!!! Thanks so much!!!! Making Steampunk costumes for Hubby and myself, fun fun!!!!
yay! this is great. you guys rock. I love the way you invite guests to the show
Nice work, gotta love a pair of spats!
Excellent! A full-throttle thank you to all of you.
spats have been used by the military throughout the world for hundreds of years (seriously) they used to make theirs by hand so as long as your hand doesn't cramp out you should be good to make yours by hand also.
Marvelous - If I make a pair of these I can put off getting proper boots until later. Thanks!
I don't care if I sound like a loser but I think steampunk is gorgeous!
that's a beautiful pair of shoes
yay! i knew spats aren´t difficult to make! love u guys!
you are so great!!! I love the steam punk recycling shoes, so cool thankyou
Since were under quarantine n stuff, I have some fabric lying around from a project I never did so I might just try this
Thanks for showing the pattern making process. Very good.
I love this pattern! I made a pair in white for my combat boots.
Super! Yes I agree! Lots of clarity in the explntn. A+
:D HOOORAY!
My prayers were answered lol.
Amazing tutorial.
Fantastic, Love This Steam Punk Revisit episode!
her freaking hat is amazing...damn
her voice and the way she talks is cute. haha
spats are super cool!!
DO LED SHOES!!!!
You haven't done that yet!!!
This is helpful... but it seems like a lot of the video is cut out. I'm not too thrilled about the video editing. It seems to jump ahead quite a bit when it could have more information.
I needed this for my Joker cosplay.
I would imagine so, you would just need to increase the top and bottom of the pattern as well in order to account for a finished edge.
Excellent tutorial.
YES I have been wanting to make spats forever!
OMG I almost bought a pair of shoes that looked just like that but they weren't heels. They had the awesome buttons and stuff though.
... I think I am going to attempt a t-shirt hack version of the dress shown at 0:48. It was in the background calling to me! lol

a good was to hold materail together insted of using pins use paperclips
Thanks guys. That's very helpful. I'm trying to make a pair to cover shoes that will make them look like pirate boots.
It's hard to find good jockey caps... mine is woven right now, and I need to upgrade to something more durable. This video is great, I'll be making some spats soon!

wait, there were two pieces, now there are three? where did the third piece come from?
