Lisa Sorrell, cowboy boot maker

I have two pairs of boots on the last! I believe I shall coast for the rest of the day.

Hmmm… this is a boot with a 2″ heel. Normally they’re a FIGHT to last but this one was sweet and easy. I’m not sure if I should be happy or worried. We’ll see how the next one goes.

Two pairs of boots have been side seamed and turned right-side-out. Tomorrow I’ll put them on the last.

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.
