Ta da! Awesome sweater boots from a lame old sweater and some cheap flats.  If you want a slightly more detailed tutorial or want to know how to machine embroider on knit, you can see the full thing here.  I hope you enjoy your new boots!

Wow your boots are so fly.  What kind of machine do you have?  It looks like the design is fairly large and really neat looking.  Just curious...

I usually use a little futura, but I ran out of time trying to get this tutorial out on time, so I used one of our industrial machines. You can get the design here... it fits most hoops, even my little futura...

[HowlPendragon3]

do you mean an industrial embroidery machine or just a regular sewing machine for the design?

[jo-star]

awesome idea and very simple to execute...thanks...

I wonder if it would work with pants?

[clhursh]

I really like this idea; I'm totally going to make some. Did you avoid using a sweater that had cuffs like those on hoodies? Would this idea work with those?

 Those are so cute! I want to make a few pairs of these for my wife. Awesome idea. And it's even simple enough for a sewing novice.
