Important materials and tools needed:In the tutorial, I sew only by hand. The boots are made of thinned lambskin (to thin leather you need a special leather thinning machine). If you don't have the machine you can try to find fine lambskin leather 0.5-0.6 mm thick. Shoe lasts and outsoles are printed on a 3D printer. They can be made by hand instead.
Additional Information: Boot scale: 1/6 (outsole length: 5 cm). The boots are originally made for TTM18-19 figures. The tutorial is also suitable for slightly larger / smaller boots (1/3 to 1/9 scale). You're allowed to sell the items you make following the tutorial.
