Glad you like the pattern. I can&...Hi Bezba/Jenny,<br /><br />Glad you like the pattern. I can't draft a new pattern for you but here's what I would do to customise the way you asked:<br /><br />1. Print the pattern I have linked above and cut out the pattern pieces<br /><br />2. The two main differences between this pattern and what you want are length and the location of the fastening (on the side vs. In the front). To move the location of the fastening, overlap the B and C pattern pieces so the button hole and button marks align and stick together (this removes the overlap designed for the button fastening).<br /><br />3. Elongate the tops of your now-2 pattern pieces. The top is above the letters on the pattern pieces when you read the letters right-way-up. If you follow the existing angle you should see they get a bit wider the longer you go - that is to accommodate the increasing width of the calf. Don't worry too much though - your laces will make the design quite flexible.<br /><br />4. If you wish, make a quick unlined mock-up using some calico or an old sheet or pillowcase. This is an optional step to make sure you're getting the shape right.<br /><br />5. Proceed with the tutorial except treat the highly curved edge as the fastener edge (since you have eliminated the button fastening). The highly curved edge (to the right side of pattern pieces A and C above) is the front of your spats where you will place your laces.<br /><br />6. Get an eyelet kit or two (depending on the number of lace holes you want) and install them in pairs down your fastening edges. Thread your laces and you are ready to rock!<br /><br />Let me know how you go. :)<br /><br />~ EyespiralEyespiralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480030172186330404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182721948625197203.post-82765809164613732972012-10-25T12:42:06.936+11:002012-10-25T12:42:06.936+11:00any chance you can design me the pattern to make t...any chance you can design me the pattern to make these within the next 48 hours??<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Franco-Womens-Steampunk-Victorian-Covers/dp/B0087JBSFW<br /><br />email z3sharkette@gmail.com if you can help please - willing to pay a token amount but this costume has already cost me a fortune so can't afford much.<br /><br />regards<br /><br />JennyBezbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896184178872168748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182721948625197203.post-7311341701122828752012-06-25T00:53:47.633+10:002012-06-25T00:53:47.633+10:00I came across this post recently - it is so awesom...I came across this post recently - it is so awesome, thank you for writing it!<br /><br />I am definitely a novice, and I wanted some advice...

I find the pattern is for a smaller shoe so give more width if you need a larger shoe fit (but do measure and copy all measurements down so if it fits right you know what = what and can make a mark up of the right size). <br /><br />Also - don't freak out!! if it looks too scary, cut out one lot of the pattern in an old fabric or calico, sew tabs to matching tabs and forget anything else this way you can get your head around how they come together, then go back and read the details for the beautiful finish on those spats shown. Remember just sew the 3 triangled tabs to the 3 triangled tabs on the other pattern part and the two triangled tabs to the matching two triangles... just match the tabs! <br /><br />Thanks again for an awesome pattern and tutorial!Sindershttp://www.wix.com/shinyrabbit/shinyrabbitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182721948625197203.post-71240091094319675462009-09-11T09:36:54.113+10:002009-09-11T09:36:54.113+10:00Very.

However, this particular pattern may be slightly elongated for suit heels, I'm not sure.<br /><br />It would be a simple adjustment, if they need it. I recommend making one unlined spat out of some scrap fabric (you won't need much, they're really quite small) and trying it on - if it's too low, trim it and then make the adjustment to the pattern or just unpick the pieces of your trimmed mock-up and use those as your new pattern.<br /><br />Was this helpful?<br /><br />~EyespiralEyespiralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480030172186330404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182721948625197203.post-16528256446461581892009-09-09T10:36:42.233+10:002009-09-09T10:36:42.233+10:00I love these spats but I am never going to wear hi...I love these spats but I am never going to wear high heels. ever.

This is a one size fits all thing, but ...Hi Holly,<br /><br />This is a one size fits all thing, but I wouldn't worry too much about whether they'll fit. Firstly, your toe can extend as little or as far out as it needs to from the end; it doesn't matter. Secondly, the only size issue I can see occurring is if you have calves/ankles any thicker than mine. I suffer a bit of canklism and so mine are not the slenderest and as a result, the fit is quite snug. I imagine with smaller ankles/calves you would just have a neat, comfortable fit.<br /><br />I hope this answers you question. :)Eyespiralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480030172186330404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182721948625197203.post-54954274753767526322009-08-26T12:41:07.107+10:002009-08-26T12:41:07.107+10:00Are these a one-size-fits-all type deal?

A machine is awesome, but at least this is a small project so if you're going by hand then it's probably a decent choice. The trickiest thing (beyond exercising you spatial recognition skills while putting together the pattern!) I think is probably the button holes. To escape that problem I'd strongly recommend heading to your local notions shop and grabbing some press studs - you can get some really pretty ones like the pearl-topped ones I used in my <a href="http://theindigophial.blogspot.com/2009/01/seatbelt-covers-tutorial-his-hers.html" rel="nofollow">Seatbelt Covers Tutorial</a>. They're easier to install as long as you have a hammer handy. :)<br /><br />Send me a link to a pic when you're done, I'd love to see, and if you like I can post it up here to share.<br /><br />~EyespiralEyespiralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480030172186330404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182721948625197203.post-53588636726059109302009-07-03T21:02:20.228+10:002009-07-03T21:02:20.228+10:00I made an attempt at these because I cannot find t...I made an attempt at these because I cannot find them ANYWHERE but I can't sew to save myself!Bexhttp://www.facebook.com/bexbexnoreply@blogger.com
