Run a line across the sole of the shoe where you'd like your spats to end. This is going to be the base for our template. This just makes it easier to see the progress. Once you have your shoe outline, put the shoe aside and grab another coloured marker. In this instance, I will be showing you how to make gaiters since spats are essentially a shorter pair and can just be cut down from this template. Place your shoe sideways on the paper and trace around it. Sometimes your pattern will require several revisions and you may end up calling it all kinds of obscenities before things work.
