Hi Whitney, Thinsulate is a product trademarked by 3M. It is their brand of insulated fabric material which is often used to line jackets, gloves and hats to keep moisture out. You can buy insulated fabric material for sewing at your local fabric shop and make some over-boot socks in no time! Here is an example you can go off of of how to do it!

Just thought that I would jump in. Want to see how this all works. Loved the Sewing Summit. I think it may have been the very first of its kind anywhere. Congratulations to Amy and Erin for a very successful event.
