Project Four: Cloth Shoes

This cloth shoe pattern is very cute - although not for the beginner! I've used a Japanese two sided reversible fabric, but as each piece of the shoe is interfaced, the reversible fabric was no advantage, and had to be used like regular one sided cloth. It is slightly tricky to assemble, particularly if using stiff fabric and strong interfacing like I did.


Only basic machine sewing skills are required, but nimble fingers required for assembly!

I would recommend a couple of modifications for smaller feet, although the pattern says 0-6 months, its definitely the larger end of that scale.

Project Extra: Matching Baby Boy Neck Tie

With the leftover scraps from the shoes, you can quickly knock up this matching neck tie to complete the outfit.

I threaded hat elastic through the top of the tie, run it around under the collar like a necklace and tied a hidden knot at the back.
