Like many people who listen to rock/metal/punk/..., I fell in love with chucks. Last summer I've seen knee high chucks in a movie and couldn't stop dreaming about it. I went to Portland, L.A., looked all over Germany, but nobody had any overknee chucks! They just didn't exist! At least not for naturally born like me, of course Lizzy McWire could have them *grrrr*
One day I went into a store and saw those cute black fake chucks and just bougth them. I got some fabric, 2 pairs of ties and lots lots lots of those ring thingies.
From that day on, I worked for 2 weeks every fucking day (even though I've never sewen before), sew till my fingers were bleeding but finally finished them, my over knee chucks. The next day in school, people I didn't even know came up to me, telling me how cool my shooes are ^^
Bad thing is the fact that I need 15 min to put them on, but I guess I can deal with it ^^
