Me: casually makes these for every day wear

[@helloworld6622]

i wish i could but sewing machines scare me

[@kattykit139]

This is a goths dream tutorial

[@HimeGabi]

@@helloworld6622 You can do it. Sewing machines are a little like a car. It has a pedal and your steer the fabric like a steering wheel. At first it's like AUUUGH what? But if you set it to slow and spend maybe 20 minutes just getting comfortable it's very easy to get the hang of.

[@m00nwalker32]

@@helloworld6622 same but I said fuck it and got one

[@Peachiest_Kingg]

@@kattykit139 I wanna make mine in pink 😍

[@iabar2045]

I don't cosplay but this is a cool alternative to buying thigh high boots. Might give it a go someday :DDD

[@alejandraayala8815]

Same! I can't find affordable thigh high boots. Might give this a try

[@freezedriedzombi8242]

TRUUE. That’s what i was thinking

[@christinalipez6874]

Righttt? So coool

[@Elmascose]

I was already wondering if it was even possible to walk around in boot covers without slipping! Those shoe grips are very clever!

[@Sundropz]

You also can use Velcro on the sides to leave the bottom exposed if you need for different types of shoes or cover looks

[@samaraisnt]

@@Sundropz yeah I've seen mostly a lil elastic accross the bottom. :)

[@jayoneta]

You are a cosplay Wizard, they look so clean!

[@KasseaneRitzel]

I always wondered how these custom boots were made, if they were bought that way. I loved the tutorial! continue with your amazing work 🥰🥰🥰

[@SarahBright]

Same!

[@dammitspawk]

Tips for people with thick thighs: incase an elastic in the top hem that is tighter than you think you need it. Then run a bead of silicon around the inside of that seam (check to make sure it’s body safe- I’d use an aquarium grade silicone calking gun). The silicon adds extra grip and the elastic will keep the top from rolling down.

[@Aki-we1lm]

Hello, can yoi help me? Since mine is kept falling and i have like thick thighs, i try wearing a pantyhose it do the work, but still needs a better grip :c using it for 2b same with the stocking , keeps rolling.

[@PurpleAlyss]

@@Aki-we1lm Another great tip, if this not real shoes it'll work and that's the trick that Kinpatsu used for her Ahri Spirit Blossom cosplay, you can sew your shoes cover / stocking on a pair of ballerina tights ! (can't share how she have done tho because it's patreon exclusive so if you want the full tuto about this, check her store, the book are normally up in her store !)

[@hikkibunny]

Thanks!

[@doggyspeak]

You can also make invisible dance shorts out of power mesh and just stitch the tops of the boots to your pants :3

[@ANDCosplay]

I seriously never knew boot covers could be that simple, this is going to save me from owning soooo many pairs of cosplay shoes :')

[@eduardaarrais]

Give that cat a raise, he deserves it for all the help he didn't provide.

[@MAJ-Lange]

I had been kind of panicking over what to do for boots for a 2B cosplay, this tutorial has literally saved my life. Totally using this tutorial!

[@truehoomanhere6230]

Same, I just found a pair of pretty pointy toe heels that should be great for this!

[@R1L3Y73]

IM A DRAG QUEEN AND THIS GOT ME SO EXCITED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES OMG

[@valentinaorellana7007]

Looking forward to use it with my sailor moon boots

[@KinpatsuCosplay]

Best of luck!

[@drawtastica4927]

Oh my goodness gracious someone who actually showed where to turn the knob on the machine AND ITS NOT ACTUALLY ATTACHED TO THE SHOE im tryna gather videos for how to make boots this is literally the best thing ever thank you so much big love to you thank you thank you thank you!❤💖💕

[@ValeriaCKoslovski]

Hand cream (that cheap ones that we never use xD) also helps the fabric to slide trough the machine!

[@biazacha]

Specially if you happen to be sewing leather, hand cream makes wonders to help!

[@ultimateotaku4159]

2:05 Those cat socks are adorable 👀😹

[@MidnightDarkness666]

This is great advice, as cosplay shoes can sometimes be more expensive than the costume itself. Its also easier to work with I'd imagine. Take Suigintou from Rozen Maiden, her knee high boots a topped with ribbon and lace and I'd imagine that would be a pain to affix to real boots.

[@StardustMegu]

Hi!! I want to pop in to say that in my years of making boot covers for my cosplays, this tutorial is one of the easiest ones to follow! My boot covers now are better than before thanks to this tutorial! Thank you for creating this!

[@Polarisloona]

THIS IS PERFECT FOR DRAG

[@crox7236]

Me: Wishing I can do or make that but sadly I’m so broke af and I broke my sewing machine

[@nekonelliel]

I did this with high knee socks! just put the shoes inside and cut around the heel. It's more easily breakable though so be careful

[@angelicnightmarescult9779]

@@nekonelliel Mhm, that's easier but it's less durable

[@finchvink]

I was literally just now worrying about how to handle the boots for a cosplay I'm working on - but this video shows it's a LOT easier than I thought. Absolutely amazing and informative, thank you so much! And your Jessie cosplay is absolutely amazing!

[@ricocreationss]

I wish this video existed years ago 😭 i waisted so much pleather making aot boot covees that didn't look good

[@lukecobabe3673]

That's brilliant! I've seen the tape and plastic wrap thing for armor and body casts, but never for boots before. Definitely going to try this out for my star wars cosplays

[@isabellal2840]

the way you explain things is so concise but makes me believe in myself! thank you!

[@TheJedaiHero9000]

Happy New Year, Kinpatsu Cosplay!!! MOST DEFINITELY looking forward towards your QUALITY content here in 2021!!!

[@Lisasplace]

my skills could never. These look SO good!

[@carrywon8767]

Wow its a look💜! I don't cosplay but definitely going to do this just for the fashion.

[@fenixdjoan]

This is was wonderful. I made boot covers by wrapping the fabric around my leg to make my pattern, but I will give this method a try!

[@AnimeGalxoxo]

I love this so much 😍 This is exactly what I need for my Sailor Mercury cosplay. It was a nightmare to paint those boots! And thank you for showing how to make the pattern too!

[@julielebouguenec180]

[@victoriajenkins1424]

This will be a great use for extra plastic and tape that I’ve saved! 💜🌍💜

[@marikpoper7609]

Omg I love it it looks Gorgeous 🤩😍❤❤❤

[@paris-elizabethfreeman9477]

In my experience, placing wax paper on the presser foot side of your project when sewing on a machine will also help the fabric glide, it then just tears off as stitching through it perforates it nicely. Never tried Vaseline, but I might give that a go!

[@TenguxChan]

Ahh! I have the same killstar shirt as you ^w^, this is such an awesome tutorial, thank you for sharing!

[@BowsettesFury]

Very cute ❤
