How I made my boot covers for my Supergirl cosplay!
This tutorial covers patterning, sewing, adding bias, topstitching, and gluing boot covers. There are also some tips at the end on how to stop your boot covers from sliding down. This is a permanent boot cover method and is best for stretchy fabrics though I'm sure you can modify these methods for your own needs as well!
I've been talking about making a fabric boot cover tutorial for a long time now so I hope this tutorial helps you and was worth the wait!

You're the first person who showed how to keep the bottom a different colour and not have the bootcover cover everything, thank you so much!!! this is a lifesaver

I've been so scared of making my own boot covers for years but I'm going to face my fears! This totally helped! I haven't decided if I want to make them permanent, but I haven't seen someone else do the gold trim like this and my cosplay needs it as well, fingers crossed I have a good result!

Thanks for the help!! Im going to be making mine with 2mm eva involved to make the top of the boot flare out to give a more cartoonish look for my character, this really helped for the bottom part, thank you!

Yay Supergirl's back. Quick question - Who is your fave supergirl ? Melissa Benoist, Laura Vandervoort or Helen Slater ??

@ColleenCosplay 2 жыл бұрын

you are probably not gonna like this answer but...I'm a comics girl. I've never kept up with the DC cinematic universe or any of the live action adaptations. I have however read A LOT of comics and a lot of Supergirl. So I'm afraid I can't say which is my favorite since I haven't seen any of the Supergirl shows/movies. But I can tell you a lot about the comic books!

@Lennon766 2 жыл бұрын

@@ColleenCosplay No probs. I sent an email out to the various heads of the Colleen Cosplay Australasian Division advising that reading Supergirl comics ONLY, was quite an acceptable form of fandom (I told 'em it was from the very top) and it's all good. Thanks for the reply

I'm going to be making boots like Frieren's from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. They're not a stretchy fabric, but, would you recommend a stretchy fabric anyway, or is there a particular type of fabric you like for things like that? Anyway, this is a super helpful and detailed tutorial, so, thank you!

@ColleenCosplay 20 күн бұрын

A non-stretch fabric will also work, but it will either need a zipper closure or will be a looser fit (think like cowboy boot type fit). The stretch fabric is so the boot can stretch over my heel to put it on or take it off. For Frieiren specifically, they do make stretch pleather fabrics if you wanna go the stretch route, but it won't look as substantial as her leather traveling boots. A zipper closure with a non-stretch pleather may be your best bet as a compromise between difficulty and accuracy. If you want a true leather boot, then that gets into some serious stiffener fabrics so that it can hold its shape with that looser fit. Those fabrics are much harder to work with and may require specialized tools.

interesting side note.... when you said you got your boots on Depop, I went there to see what I might find. I tried using the name I use for my cosplay stuff (Bill Quemeese) and the site said, 'please don't use emoji's for your name', weird. I did find a different way to use the site, but they didn't have anything in my size

@ColleenCosplay 6 ай бұрын

Yah resale sites are always hit or miss when it comes to finding stuff. I also use Mercari and between the two I can usually get pretty close to finding what I want. A lot of people have recommended Threadup too, but I haven't tried it yet.

You must be new here. In addition to my cosplay tutorials, I make content on my experiences as a disabled cosplayer in the cosplay community. You may find my video on ableism in cosplay informative. You can watch it here : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKlifd11ndK4nas.html
