I have been busy these past few months - I can't just sit and do nothing, so I have been embroidering. I have embroidered towels, jewlery, and these cuties......
I used a basic bootie pattern with wool felt. There is nothing better than the feel of a needle going through felt. The entire bootie is hand sewn. I made the shoe lace by cutting a strip of felt, wrapping around a bamboo skewer then basting along the edge. Remove the skewer and you have a great tie. The flower is a strip of felt rolled up with a button center.
I just had to make a red and turquoise pair. Same pattern but with a purchased felt flower to which I added embroidered detail. Add a ribbon for ties and you're ready to go.
I used turquoise felt for the sole of bootie, sewed around then cut with scollop edged scissors. Love the look. Now I just need a baby to wear them.
These are easy enough to make in an afternoon, maybe give it a try and let me know how you do.
