Z Shoes

I know what you are going to say...
"Shannon, you already tried making baby shoes and you failed miserably."
Well thanks for your confidence, but I am at it again. This time, instead of stressing myself out by trying to make a retail-quality product, I made a pair of boots just for Z. Its a lot less stressful making stuff when you know its for your own child. So what if there are 20 little pieces of thread sticking out of the sides? So what if its uneven? Nobody will notice, and nobody cares. Its great! I had a pair of boots for her that I absolutely loved but the dog ate one of them (anybody want a dog?), so I cut the other one apart and made a pattern out of it. Heres a picture of some of the pieces laid out before I sewed them together.

I used purple felt for the outside and white fleece for the inside. The felt was a bad idea. It has already started pilling all over the place, so Im making another pair out of canvas.

This is looking down into the shoe as I stitched the elastic together so she couldn't pull them off.

And finally, customized baby boots. I put "Z" on the front of both, because really why shouldn't she have super hero shoes? Actually it was originally to cover up a sewing flaw, but I love it!
