Ralph Lauren western boots

[Frodo]

a new build, with an interesting pair of vintage ralph Lauren western boots size 7C
this same boot is listed on etsy and amazon for $350/$450
I saw this type of purse online and it caught my attention. .this is going to take me a week or 2 because i am not focusing on it full time.

Sewed the 2 sides together using a baseball stitch on the lower half
I am currently adding a leather bottom. this part a a PITA because i have to put my hand in the boot and stick a needle in a hole i can not see
It is by feel only. This happens on the last 25% of the bottom

I have seen a few purses made from boots. Would be a great purse.

Finished the bottom and waxed it

The reason i am hand stitching instead of using a machine is I do not have the right size yellow thread

They are finished

pockets on the inside, a strap to attach a holster,
