Cowboy Boots

Living in Texas, you see people with cowboy boots all the time, it's just part of the fashion. And, even toddlers and babies have them. So, for one of my most recent project, I decided to make some!!!

I got the pattern for free online here. So, I DO NOT claim this pattern as my own. I also have corrected it a little to make it look a little better. Enjoy!
