Turn the boot cover right side out, and ease the other shoe, the opposite of the one used for pinning, inside. Push it all the way into place, including the toe and heel. FIG. F

Keep in mind: When the boot cover is turned right side out, it mirrors the seamlines and fit, as well as the shoe it was fitted over. If you pinned the boot cover on your left leg with the left shoe, it will properly fit your right leg and right shoe when turned right side out. Placing the left shoe back in might mean crooked seams or a mismatched fit.

With the shoe inside, put on the cover to check the fit and height. If any wrinkles have developed, turn it wrong side out again to pin and sew it a bit tighter in those areas. Repeat Steps 2–8 for the other boot cover.

tip THIS IS ALSO HOW YOU SHOULD PUT ON THE FINISHED BOOT COVERS—BY EASING THE SHOE IN PLACE WITH BOTH HANDS THEN SLIDING IN YOUR FOOT. DON’T TRY TO PUT ON THE COVER WITH THE SHOE ON YOUR FOOT; IT’S A LOT HARDER TO DO AND IS SURE TO POP THE STITCHES!

Use the measuring tape to measure the circumference of your calf below the knee. Cut 2 pieces of ½˝-wide braided elastic, each 1˝ shorter than the measurement. With each piece of elastic, overlap the ends by ½˝ and stitch together to create 2 elastic loops.

Pin the elastic to the right side of the top edge of the cover. The elastic will be smaller around than the cover, so gently stretch the elastic as you pin it to ease in the extra fabric.

Stitch the elastic to the cover using a very wide zigzag stitch. As you sew, gently stretch the elastic again to join the layers without forming any tucks. FIG. G
