That's such the wonderful, clear and easy to follow video I was looking for making my daughter and myself skate covers. Thank you very much ❤

Never in my life have I seen someone do a straight stitch on a stretch fabric lol. Thanks for sharing! Good to know that this method can hold up. I’ll have to give it a try!

This was so helpful! I've been sewing stretch fabrics for a few years now and I learned a lot from watching this! Can't wait to make my own skate covers for the summer :) Thank you!!

What are the measurements

[@patriciawiesner84]

Darn I was hoping to see them on a skate to see the fit.

When tracing the boot for the pattern, do you add 1/2" around the whole pattern including the line made at the start and end points? (Sole of the skate)
