Soggy shoes have long plagued my husband’s daily work commutes, but the $50 price tag for a standard pair of bike booties was too much for our tiny budget. Making these DIY bike booties was an exciting and practical alternative. With a bright orange waterproof fabric, I made these rain covers in 2 hours and my final cost was only $10. There are lots of ways to customize this pattern, and it’s even appropriate for beginner sewists.
