New designs, old history

Posted on September 5, 2018 by customboots

I drew the design on the left yesterday. I decided it wasn’t really what I wanted for that pair of boots, so I chose the vintage tulip stitch instead.
Interesting bit of history: A very similar tulip stitch is traditional for a kind of Hungarian boot also.
