ploesj have you ever made spats? I've done leg warmers out of knits and things, but never sewn anything tailored for calves/ankles. A friend of mind just ordered a pair of custom made ankle boots to look like they have spats on, and I think I want to make a cute pair for over my boots this winter. (as my winter wardrobe doesn't change much from skirts and boots.. it just adds in stockings and lots of defcorative keep warm leg covers..) Maybe in deep red or the neverfail black.

kind of like these but in a fabric that isn't so slinky because I think it would show off the detail of boots underneath too much? ( hope these work, etsy links are very long..
