Learning to sew.

Ok - those who know me, know that I am not a crafty, sewing, knitting kind of person. I don't really know how to do much and have never embraced any of it. But I will admit, every now and again, something looks really interesting and fun to do and I'm never opposed to trying. So, one day while scanning through many many blogs, I happened upon a pattern to make cloth baby shoes (just like Robeez) and it looked simple enough so I decided to give it a shot. Now 4 pairs later, I'm really enjoying myself and I think I just might want a sewing machine for Christmas. I'm hoping these could be cute baby shower gifts as Andrew is really not much of a shoe horse!

I totally downloaded the pattern for those the other day. I am so excited to try them. Yours are so cute. What did you use on the bottom?

For those asking, I used a fine corderoy for the top and heel, lined them with a blue cotton fabric, the sole is a tan suede fabric and sherpa lines the inside. Have fun Bess!
