Description
These boot spats have taken me over three hours to make. Knife-pleated ribbon detail on the side; The back of the spats have eyelets through which a ribbon was threaded, to be tied in a bow. I lurve these buttons so hard....
These are made out of red taffeta, and the color is just to die for.
Both spats are done, and the buttons are on opposite sides (the one pictured here is the right foot).

Fancying some spats yourself? Check out my ::Etsy store:: !
or note me if I don't have any in there...

I'm not sure if I'd be making a tutorial on these. There are patterns out there for boot spats, such as Burda #8127. They're not too hard to make.

Where'd you get your taffeta? It's mouthwatering and I'm positively hungering to use that kind of red taffeta for a specific project.

I bought it at Fabricland in Ottawa months ago. I don't know if I could find more.
I'm going there tomorrow and can look for you if you like.

Wonderful spats! Love the details. Do they have a strap around the instep?
I started a pair of hightop spats from a Burda pattern to wear with my kilt, but haven't finished them yet. I've also got some grey satin to make a pair of 20s style ankle spats to wear with a 3-piece suit, but I'm going to take apart a pair of falling apart, moth-eaten spats from an antique store to make a pattern for those.

Thank you! and yes, they do have an elastic to keep them in place
Good luck! can't wait to see them!

I LOVE spats. I have been meaning to make some for years. Literally. I just haven't sat down and figured out how to make the pattern. Like curving over the foot and all that. I've got to make that a priority.
These are so hot. I love the cute details.

Just type up "spats pattern" on google... you're bound to find something in the image seach. That's what I did, but the pattern's not all that great.

Oh man! I should have thought of that

it's ok. Sometimes the obvious answer is just too obvious. I google everything. I do mean EVERYTHING. I was curious about how Chameleons change colour, the other day, and googled it. Well, their explanation on Wikipedia is very precise and complicated.... So basically I've decided that chameleons change colour by magic. Nothing else, just pure magicalness.

Yay, I love spats. Have to agree with Goldenspring. I really want to make some as well now. I think you have started a craze.
They really are spats of awesomeness, its the pleated ribbon detail that really makes it.

Make sommmmmme!!! We can start our own Secret Spats Club! yessssssss
On my original design, they looked fine... but then when I cut out the fabric, they looked rather plain, so I added the knife-pleated ribbon.
I β₯ RIBBON SO HARD!!!

SPATS!
Did you have a pattern? I want a pair of spats...
π: 0 β©: 1
I had found one on the internet, but I have to say... it was rather crappy. So I made my own pattern out of cotton, and then made them with taffeta.
I will be selling some in my etsy shop soon, if you want some...

lol! seems like good patterns are hard to find these days...
when I get a job, I may just hit up your store.

well, free ones anyway. Here is the pattern I had originally intended on using, but I had to so alot of adjustments to it: [link]
You could always use it as a general guide, however.

I really love the knife pleats. And the whole thing is just generally awesome. I may have to steal that idea for everyday use as well as costumes >.>
