  Step 1

  Pin the fabric around your leg.

• 

  Step 2

  Sew along the pin line, removing one pin at a time. I used a wide zigzag stitch for extra stretch.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut off the excess fabric.

• 

  Step 4

  Next I stretched the fabric dow snuggly over the soles and pinned where I wanted the fabric to be glued to the sole.
  This is the inner sole.

• 

  Step 5

  And this is the outer sole.

• 

  Step 6

  Trim off with about half an inch of allowance.

• 

  Step 7

  I placed a pin in the very tip of the fabric as my start position for gluing.

• 

  Step 8

  Glue in short segments all the way around, using your pins as guides for where the fabric should attach to the sole. Remove pins each segment.

• 

  Step 9

  Press the fabric down gently onto the hot glue.

• 

  Step 10

  Pre-trim

• 

  Step 11

  Trim close to the glue line for a neat finish.

• 

  Step 12

  Next, carefully flip the shoe inside out. I had to bend mine nearly in half, but just be gentle and shimmy the fabric off the heel end first and the toe will follow.

• 

  Step 13

  Right side out boots.

• 

  Step 14

  I wanted my boots to scrunch and to pull snuggly up over my calves, so I cut some elastic and sewed it to the inside of a 3 inch cuff. After the elastic was sewn I folded the cuff up toward my thigh. The elastic is covered by two inches of fabric and the natural sleeve "cuff" sits against my skin, covering the elastic inside the new cuff.

• 

  Step 15

  I chose this button for the accent.

• 

  Step 16

  But since it only had a single loop with which to attach it to the fabric, I knew it would be floppier than I wanted. So I hot glued it to the fabric instead of sewing it.

• 

  Step 17

  And pressed it firmly until it was secrure, while it was on my leg.

• 

  Step 18

  Button glued.

• 

  Step 19

  Now the boots can be worn as knee highs.

• 

  Step 20

  And as scrunchy boots! =)

I really like your idea. The old sweater is transformed into a pair of super cute sweater boots, and the style is very special. You can also see that you have a certain understanding of the boots. I recently bought a pair of boots, See a site boots look good, the price is also cheap, that is, do not know how the quality, I would like to hear your opinion, can you help me find it? Looking forward to your reply, this is a link to bootshttp://dream.ebcoo.net/product/autumn-winter-fashion-pointed-women-short-flat-boots-stretch-fabric-front-zipper-ankle-boots-martin-boots-low-heels-women-shoes/
