Baby Booties



The other day while I was posting Tea towel projects I came across these.
Flickr member Bianca Wickers states that they were made with a vintage tea towel.  There was no pattern link so sadly I had to leave them out.  But here it is! Found at Stardust Shoes, These cute little booties can be made with one fat quarter, a scrap of leather and some elastic.  (if you want a stiffer option you can fuse interfacing into the heel and toe areas.) Made to fit babies 6 to nine months.  Or if you like, as a good friend suggested, you could enlarge the pattern and make yourself booties for any age! As an added bonus, here is a link to a Cloth Shoes for Babies Flickr Group.  The example pic above is the work of group member Katherine Meadows.  This group can be used for inspiration, ideas and just plain old showing off.  Pdf tutorial downloadable here.  That's it, off you go!  Happy Stitching!
