The urge to decorate my 4-month-old's feet has come on strong recently. I have made 3 pairs of booties in the last few days. The first pair failed with a faulty pattern that made them waaaay too big (hence they will not be featured). The second pair (green & grey) are quite cute, but do not wear well. The third pair (elephants, my fav) are perfect. A girl can never have too many shoes, right? We start 'em young around here.
Here is my trusty helper practicing pinning her fabric. I can't wait for the day when I'm helping her with her own projects.

those are so cute!!! do you mind sharing your pattern?
ReplyDeletethanks! the little elephant booties were the best pattern and they're from Amy Butler's Little Stitches. the green ones are from a book called Sweet Booties that I got from the library; they are the Moon Booties pattern, but they don't wear very well. i also tried another pattern from that book that didn't work out well. i think they both could be fine with a little tweaking, but amy's patterns are more professional finishing anyway.
