I finally had a go at making my very own baby shoes/slippers. Couldn't decide on a pattern so ended up making three different pairs. I was super surprised at how easy they are. I thought I would be chained to my sewing machine, slaving away for hours on end for these little treasures. But no! They're as simple as pie. Well in saying that, it depends on what pie. But anyway, beside the point, if you have any scrap fabric lying around you must give one of these tutorials a try. There perfect for a baby gift, I might add. Have to say though, the pink ones with ruffles are definitely my favourite!!!
(Note: most baby shoes ask for interfacing of some kind but if you're like me and don't know what the word interfacing is in the country you live in and can't be bothered anymore going to Google Translate to type it in because 9 times out of 10 the fabric store doesn't quite see eye to eye with Google Translates translation, then just replace it with felt or a thicker fabric of some sort)
#1 Reversible Fabric Baby Shoes
These ones turned out a bit flat for some weird reason. But I'm sure they'll fill up nicely when there's some cute chubby feet inside. The tutorial for these Reversible Fabric Baby Shoes from Maked comes in two parts. Tutorial here and pattern here.
#2 Mila Baby Shoes
LOVE these!!! so sweet and frilly! Just what every baby girl needs in her wardrobe!
Tutorial is from Fleeting Thing, which you can happily find here.
#3 Pleated Ballerina Shoes
Not really sure if bub will get much wear out of these, as I made them just a tad too tiny. Oh well, if not, then they'll just have to suffice as nursery decoration 'cause they're too cute to throw away!
This fun tutorial is from Homespun Threads. And you will find it here.
You now have three wonderful tutorials so get shoemaking!
