Home boots from the old warm thing are sewn like this:

2. Cut off the sleeves completely. Then it should be cut obliquely so that there is no accordion on the heel when you pull the future toe onto your leg. To do this, cut the sleeve at an angle of about 45 degrees. The heel should be on the side where the seam is.
3. The sole is being cut out. It is very easy to do if there is any insole.
4. Cut out the sole from any part of the thing.

5. The stocking is turned to the wrong side and the sole should also be turned inside out. The stocking with the bottom of the sock is sewn together with a thread. It is better to start stitching from the heel.
