Lisa Sorrell, cowboy boot maker

My students Amber and Robert have finished their boots! They both headed for home eager to make more boots.

I pegged these boots today. They’re making me happy.

It was a long day, but the boots are on the lasts now!

Robert and Amber are concentrating on channeling insoles.

These are the boots they’ll be putting on the lasts today.

This is the pair of boots I’ll be using for demonstrating the lasting process.

We’re channeling insoles in class this morning, and I can’t stop smiling every time I work with the latest shipment of Baker Leather. These insoles are so wonderful!

This is what my old Singer sewing machine can do.

In spite of the look on Robert’s face, both of my current students really are excited about my cowboy boot making class. 🙂 They’re doing a great job!

I’ve started a new cowboy boot making class with two students.

This is a progressive look at putting together a fancy top band.
