Lisa Sorrell, cowboy boot maker

I forgot to put the side liners between the vamp and the liner. I had to take out the side welt stitching, peel it back, stick it in, and restitch it. It’s a rookie mistake which I will blame on road trip exhaustion.

This is my lovely daughter Paige’s work. It’s an alligator leather bracelet with an overlaid watch design. The hands are stitched to three o’clock because that’s when school lets out.

I’ve stitched one side of a blue oak leaf boot top panel. I like the way they’re looking!

This month I get to make another version of an oak leaf design.

I feel like I have new boots. I wore out the toe on these so I took them apart and added a wingtip plus new soles and heels.

I stitch my initials into every pair of boots I make.
