What a good idea, I might make some new insoles for my winter boots although I think using Insulbrite left over from oven glove making might be taking the thermal properties a step too far!

Many, many years ago hubby bought me a lovely sewing box. Overtime it began to look a bit tired and dare I say, a little dated.
