New Shoes for Elliot and Friends

Made from the Stardust Shoes pattern, these baby shoes were easy to make and are so cute for Elliot to wear. He's gotten a lot of compliments on the camouflage pair. I made 10 pairs in all...just had to show off some pictures.

For the fleece pairs I used "jiffy grip" fabric for the bottoms, and it seems to work well. I didn't have any of the bonded fleece for the soles that the pattern calls for, but because Elliot isn't walking yet, I figured they won't get much wear anyway. The fabric shoes just have fabric soles, but I did use a layer of felt in between two layer of fabric to add a bit of padding.

btw, the pink pairs are for a couple of girl babies I know, not Elliot! =)

Cheers,
Jessica

  2. Those are too cute! I have been making leather shoes for my little guy from the Chloe Toes pattern, but I also printed out the Stardust Shoes pattern to try out for gifts. I'll bet you get a great response to those gifts!
