My first attempt at shoes

Baby booties for Selah Grace!

I figure I better learn how to make them, because this frugal mama can't afford to spend too much money on etsy!


Right now, I have lots of black/white fabric left over from her nursery. I think this girlie needs some black pants to go with these shirts. I want to make some that flare on the ends. Then I have this great idea to buy some black tights, then cut off the ends and sew some fringe. Fun! I also love baby legs... black baby legs would be really cute with these.


This first pair of shoes I designed to be able to hold a hairbow on each shoe. These are kind of supposed to be like ankle-boots. I think the zebra stripes look cute with so many colors (hot pink, red, turquoise, etc), and wanted to be able to mix/match with different bows. I still need to make matching bows for each shoe and a hairband. And maybe another to clip onto the end of the stripe on her shirt. :)






These turned out cuter than I thought they would. I love the satin ribbon, and need to make a hairbow to clip onto a hairband to go with this shirt.

I'm going to try and sew some Robeez-like shoes next. I just need to find some leather for the bottoms.

I'd also like to try to figure out Mary Jane's and sew her name on the strap that comes across her foot.

I love sewing her name on everything. This is FUN!! :)
