Lisa Sorrell, cowboy boot maker

After a few weeks of students and taking care of the supply business, I am officially back at work building boots.

Here’s a LINK to my newsletter for March. To subscribe, send an email to customboots@aol.com with “Subscribe” in the subject line.

I will be teaching a two day leather inlay/overlay class in Ashland, Oregon. This will follow the Footwear Symposium weekend hosted by Bill and Julie Shanor. Please click on the link below to learn more about the class and reserve your space.

Inlay/Overlay Class… Ashland, Oregon

I’ve had two students in my shop for the past two weeks, and they left today with the boots they built. It was a very enjoyable class and my shop will seem extra quiet for a few days until I get used to being alone again. Either that, or it will be extra noisy now that I can return to singing loudly.

I’m very happy to announce that I’m now a dealer for Packer Leather out of Australia. I will focus on carrying a wide range of colors in kangaroo. I have six colors now and plan to add more colors in time.

Sorrell Notions & Findings: Kangaroo leather

On “It’s a Boot Life” this month, I feature my trip to the Independent Shoemaker’s Conference in England.

“It’s a Boot Life”

I have a new and updated web page for Sorrell Notions and Findings!!! Please visit it, admire its beauty, and feel free to shop. I will be adding more products soon.

The boots I’m working on now will be for me. They have black kangaroo tops with a fully stitched design and a green alligator foot. I’ve never had green alligator boots before.

These are the boots I’m making this week.

After lunch I’ll turn them right-side-out and let you have a proper look.
