After several requests, here is my tutorial for Non-Stretch Fabric Boot Covers! This works for any kind of fabric and uses an invisible zipper closure at the back of the boot cover.

I've made quite a few boot covers, all of them different, but most employing this method. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Pin what? The covers around your leg? Just get a close approximation, then fix the rest while sewing. Or get someone to pin it for you.

I just had a pair of boot covers sewn the other day, and when I try to walk while wearing them, they easily slide down my leg; even though their is elastic sewn on the upper part of the boot cover and the bottom of the boot cover is glued to the rubber part of the shoe above the bottom. I was wondering if their is anyway for me to keep the boots from slipping down my leg, even though they are complete, or any tips in general to keep them from sliding down my leg as I walk?

Try tightning the elastic in the thighs and sewing the cover to be tighter on your leg.

If you are using elastic in the thighs, make sure to always stretch out the elastic before installing it. If you don't, it will stretch while you wear it and then it will sag.

Hmm.. thank you, but how would you tighten the elastic exactly?

Take them out. Make them smaller around (smaller circumference), then sew back together. It should fit very snugly around your thigh.

If you've already sewn the elastic to the fabric instead of encasing them in the hem, you will have to either sew the cover seams to be smaller and fit more tightly, or you can fold the hem over completely and slip in a smaller elastic band to fit your thigh.

How did you make the boot covers with the front corset lacing there at the bottom?
