Description

I didn’t take any pictures while sewing the spats but they are easy to make so I hope it won’t be a problem. First you need a pattern, which you’ll find here: http://www.thankyoufornotbeingperky.com/?cat=16
The link to the pattern is on the left side of the page. And it’s a pdf file. Here are also pictures of my modified patterns so that you’ll know what kind of changes I made to the pattern. In my patterns the original pattern line is marked in green.

Material Notes

I used tweed and cotton for the lining, but it’s your choise. The amount of fabric needed depends on how long spats you want.

    Perfect! I’ve just been asked to make a pair of vinyl spats for gents boots, and this will save me a whole lot of bother, so THANK YOU for posting your How To and the pattern location.

    I love your ones! Especially the collection of odd buttons! That’s a really cute touch. Mine will be made with poppers.
