Note: If you are planning to use fabric that does not stretch, then preare the back seam of the boot cover for a zipper.

Step 2

Carefully pull foot and shoe out between the pinned fabric layers. Fix any ripples in the fabric so it lays flat, then sew a stretch seam along pinned line, leaving it open at the top where the heel will poke through. Cut away extra fabric.
