A work of art needn't worry about things like "perfection." They're beautiful and I hope they're super cosy!

They turned out beautifully.

I get so excited every time you post a video! I love learning about folk costumes and what poorer people made at home. The only other costuber I know who has content about folk costume and folk art and culture is Pretty Shepherd. Does anyone have recommendations?

I don’t know many. Most folk costume content is usually made in languages other than English. Besides Pretty Shepherd, have you checked out @elinabrahamsson9442 She makes Swedish working women’s costumes and her videos are amazing!

Hi! First of all, the boots are gorgeous! Second, I'm so happy I've found your channel! I'm from Hungary and on one occassion at a thrift store in Budapest, I randomly stumbled upon two vintage skirts by the Finnish brand Arola. I've been obsessed with traditional Finnish weaving ever since, can't wait to learn from your videos!:)

Thank you! I’m planning another weaving project pretty soon. I have everything ready but I have other projects to finish before I can start another.

Once more you put together an outstanding informative video. Bravo

Wow, these are amazing! I love seeing people make their own shoes, and I'd never heard of tallukkaat before! Thank you for sharing the process in such a nice video, it will inspire me in my own shoemaking journey :)

Thank you for sharing this beautiful creation.

I at immediately started looking for the book that you use for the pattern. It is such a shame it’s not in English. I am so intrigued by this. Thank you for posting this.

Yeah, it’s a pity. However, real shoemakers take the pattern from the lasts using tape. If you can find a pair of lasts that are your size, you should be able to make the pattern from them. That also makes sure that the shoes actually fit the lasts.

Hahahahah so nice and funny. I love the humor and the all new approach is great thank you.

How beautiful and freeing. So satisfying.

What a wonderful video. I love these boots and would love to make a pair. They look so comfortable. I would also like to learn more about the tradition and history of making them. If you stumble upon any English Language resources, please let me know.

I'm so happy I found your channel! Your videos and your work are charming, beautiful, and inspiring.

This is such a great video! I really want to make my own tallukas now 🥰

Astonishingly beautiful!

I love love love your spirit to creating these !

Why yes I am actually unironically wearing sandals in December still T.T These look so nice and toasty, and the embroidery is cheerful and adorable. Colours on a black ground is always such a good design. Also, I don't know if the socks (or are they tights?) you wore with them are handmade or not, but they're so pretty and go really well with them.

What would the soles be made out of in the past? And what glues would have been used? These are very cool!

@withmyhandsdream

The soles would probably have been wool but they would have been brushed with tar to make them more durable. They would have then needed no glue. With regular shoes, the soles were sewn on.

Beautiful boots!! You are very talented :) How do the boots feel on your feet? Are they warm enough, and comfortable? If there is anything you’d like to improve what would it be? Thank you for sharing your homemade creations!

They feel fine but perhaps a bit loose at the heel. I think I should have made my own pattern directly from the lasts. I have also been eyeing all the different kinds of soles on Etsy. For not so snowy days a thicker sole would be more practical.

The boots are lovely. Did I hear you right? You got the last from your recycle center? How lucky for you, mime just has broken glass and old newspaper.

Well, we have these big second-hand stores or warehouses called Recycling centers in Helsinki region. People donate them stuff they don’t need and they sort it out and sell it forward. I love these places as you can do real treasure hunting in them! You can find anything from cheap H&M tops to 19th century antiques. They also have big craft sections where you can find materials and tools for many different kinds of crafts. Like how many people try weaving or bobbin lace and then realise that it is not their thing?

@@withmyhandsdream you're right I myself tried to learn to knit and discovered it wasn't for me. I don't remember what happened to the needles, but the yarn got used in other projects. Wish I had a place like that to donate stuff to.

Those are lovely. Is that book on making them really 56 euro? That's quite a lot for a 23 page book...

It seems to be. I got mine from the local library. It might be a really small edition or something. I agree that the price is quite a lot.

Can I make these out of hemp

Yes. They aren’t as warm and it might be a good idea to use some soft and thick layers in between. You could use polyester wadding of something like that if you don’t want to use wool.
