Oh Sew Cute!

Posted on July 28, 2023 by craftycreeky

I’ve just made a pair of baby shoes for my grandson and they are so cute! Fiddly to make but worth it!

I spotted the pattern on Etsy in a store called Happy Baby Patterns and pressed the ‘buy now’ button immediately as they are just so cute. The bunnies would also fit with the Peter Rabbit rompers I’ve made for Hugo.

I haven’t got many progress photos as I was concentrating so much on the instructions, well actually I only have one! The pattern went together well and the instructions were actually very clear, it just took a while to understand how some of the techniques were going to work, but they did!

I used a batik cotton for the rabbit, Peter Rabbit fabric for the rest of the outer and the upper lining, the sole is a thick brown felt lined with fleece, I meant to put the fleece fluffy side up but I managed to insert it the wrong way up, it still feels soft though. Another time I’ll use a thinner felt as it has made the edges quite bulky.

As you can see clips came in very useful, the photo shows the sole lining ready to be stitched, the whole shoe was then turned through a gap in the lining stitching, this could then be hand-stitched closed before turning the shoe the right way….you see why I had to concentrate!

The baby shoes didn’t actually take that long, I made them in an afternoon.

Aren’t they just the cutest!!

I love the little tail at the back. I just need to see how they fit and whether they stay on before I make any more.

About craftycreeky

I live in a busy market town in Yorkshire with my husband, kids, dogs and chickens. I love trying new crafts, rediscovering old ones, gardening, walking...anything creative really I started this blog after my New Year resolution worked so well. My resolution (the first one I've ever kept!) was to post a photograph of my garden on Facebook every day. My hope was that I would then see what was good in the garden and not just weeds and work, which was my tendency. The unexpected side-effect was that I have enjoyed many more hours in the garden. I am hoping that 'The Crafty Creek' will have the same effect. Happy creating!

    Eeeep! Cuteness overload. How small do they go – would they fit Luna or maybe the larger Flora?

    Those are so cute! They remind me if the time I made a pair of fun fur bunny slippers for my little sister’s Cabbage Patch doll.
