Boots Progress Update

I picked up some eyelets from walmart the other day for my boots (posted about earlier in august) today I started applying them to the boots

so far I have ten applied, that's one side of one boot, I'll need another 30 to finish this part of the "renovation"

I used the "antique brass" eyelets from walmart, got two sets of 15, will need more... have only good things to say for them so far.
at first I couldn't figure out how to make the holes for the eyelets to go through, I tried a shotgun shell and it worked perfectly, except that it bent the shell irreparably :\ so that was a no go.. I couldn't just cut through to leather either, at least not without mutilating it. eventually with some digging in the shed I found a set of ratchet attachments using the smallest I could hammer a hole about the right size

spacing was hard to figure out, eventually I just eyeballed it and placed the eyelets on top of the boot where I wanted then used sewing pins to show where they'd go

it all turned out rather well I'm very happy with it so far, still a lot more work to go but worth it i believe

now I need to find some fur.....

spot the ferret?

New Patches!!!

I stopped by shirts n things the local punk purveyor and picked up 2 new patches for my slowly growing collection :3 added them to my shorts and now I want to show them off lol

these shorts were some converse one star pants that I had for a few years that tore on the back of the pant leg, they were my favorite pants so I turned them into cuttoffs.

  new patches yayy!

The metallica one was hard because the patch was rectangular it left a lot of empty black fabric at the bottom. So I cut a slight concave in the bottom, and sewed around the name so that the outer edges would fray. Reducing some of the leftover fabric while nicely wearing the look of the patch.

 I really like this one x] was easy to sew, except when I had to seam rip the top open when I accidentally sewed through the pocket...

I've had this one a while, it's actually covering up a hole in the back. 

Just had to fix one of the seams that was wearing out.

so when does game of thrones come back on? lol ehhhh.....
