Little Shoes

Just in case you thought I spent all my time blogging and writing this month, I'm pasting in a photo of some shoes I made last night.

I am converting my leather shoe pattern to one that can be made from fabric. I thought I'd try it out on these newborn shoes (finished length of only 2.5 inches). Worked okay, if a little bulky around ankles . . . but could just be because shoes are so little.

The outside is an embrodeeried brocade and the lining is a nice thick white satan.



I also made up a set of washable mop pads that I sell on my site. November and December they are huge sellers -- presents for all those "green" customers I assume. Not pretty, so I won't share the photos.

But it was nice to sew; even if it was midnight when I was doing it.

  1. I think you should showcase those shoes in your local fabric store, see if they let you sell your pattern.

  2. Shoes are cute and midnight sounds like a perfect time to sew.
