Ugg boot tops? What can I make???

Options
Hi all

I have finally relegated a pair of ugg style boots (they are Sketcher ones) to slippers by cutting off the 'legs' off the boots.

However I am left with these 2 legs which are not in too bad condition, the suede is ok, so is the furry inside and I cannot think what I can make with them?

Seems a shame to chuck 'em out... I have a sewing machine and I think I may have a leather needle or at least an upholstery one and I have some sewing skills ;)

Any ideas - all gratefully received :D

  • what about mufflers for the onset of winter? I know it sounds silly in the middle of summer but may be better than the material going to waste.

    A hand muff? All you would need really would be some good quality string

    Would they fit inside a pair of wellies to keep your legs warm in winter?

    Could you stitch them together to make a tube for a hot water bottle cover?

    Open then out and stitch together for a cosy mini cat bed?

    Gather the top and cut holes each end for handle and sprout for a teacosy?

    I was thinking about the possibility of adding them over the sleeves of a warm winter coat so you could have an additional layer of warmth.

    Failing that, Ugg pencil case..? Or buy a cheap fleece and cut some arm holes in it, then stitch the legs to it to make a homemade snuggle blanket (I forget what they're called - the ones you put your arms through)
