Project OverviewInstep Adjustment
Difficulty Level = Beginner
Our Facebook group is a great place to get help, share your tips and creations! We are a friendly bunch, and we love to help and see what you have made.
Please read the full instructions before getting started.
Wash, dry, and press your fabric before starting your project. A bit of prep now prevents shrinking and means your garment will stay the same size you made it.
Never leave a child or baby unattended or allow to sleep in a garment made from one of our patterns with ties, snaps, buttons, or anything they could remove, choke on, or get caught on. Always use caution if you are unsure. We love our patterns, but we love your bundles of joy more!

Fitting NotesThe instep (A) is the part that goes over the top of your foot. If the Rain Boot Liner feels snug or tight along the top of your foot, that’s a good indication that you have a high instep and need to adjust the pattern piece.
To calculate the amount you need to adjust the pattern by, measure your instep around the top of your foot around to the widest part of your heel.
The table below shows how to calculate your measurement (in INCHES). Use this as a guideline to calculate the number of inches required to adjust the pattern pieces by.
Measure your foot circumference (B) and then complete the table below to calculate your instep adjustment.
