Things you need:-
1-Pink soft felt
2-Blue',yellow,red,and pink cotton
3-Embroidery floss(black and blue)
4-Embroidery needle
5-Small black beads
6-Tracing paper
7-Sewing machine
Step 1:-First iron your material…trace the patern on the fabric by placing the tracing paper between the fabric and paper pattern (this sole is 4" in length and almost 2" in width and a little narrow at the back , similarly the upper is 4" in length and 4" in width.give a seam allowance of 1/2" all around)…you can use common pins to keep all three layers in place…cut 4 uppers…two in red for the lining and two in pink….similarly cut 4 soles two in red and two in pink felt….you shall have 8 pieces in total
Step 2:-Stitch together the red pieces with the pink parts..like red lining with main pink piece.. cut two shapes of leaves in blue cotton and applique them on the pink side of the sole …after that just stitch the upper with the sole…by placing the red sides facing each other…u will have two booties
For Caterpiller:-
Step1:-Cut circles of 2”diameter in pink red and blue cotton (for body)….and another circle of 2 1/2” diameter in yellow cotton (for head)…you will need two circles in all colors for both booties
Step2-With the thread of same color do a simple running stitch all around the edges of all circles..then place the polyester filling in the center and stretch the thread so that it takes the shape of a small ball…close the opening tightly with small stitches.put eniugh filling to make well rounded circles…make balls with all the circles you have cut out of fabric..you will have 8 balls…
Step 3:-Pass thread through the balls tightly to keep them in place..place the head at the end…with black embroidery thread make the lips in stem stitch.and stitch one bead for each eye..similarly stitch black beads one on top of the other for tentacles passing the thread tightly through each bead…5 to 6 beads are enough for each side…
Step 4:-Now either stitch the caterpillers on the booties or glue them at the place where you like them…this is the final look of the booties
