One down one to go as it says,I'v just spent 4 days doing more sowing than I'v done in life.I'v done one or two sheath and a coulpe of poutches.This was IS a lot of stitching and I have to do it all again,they look a lot better with one on each foot so give it a day or so and I'l make a start on the other one.
Brilliant stuff Tony.
My only worry is the boots are a commission for Mark. I am trying very hard not to picture him wearing (only) the boots whilst having a dance in front of the fire.

That is superb work there, Tony - reminds me of the moccasins worn by the natives up in Canada (Wyandot/Huron).
