Vanilla Booties

i think i am getting good at making booties:)….so here is another pair of booties that i want to share with all my Fans worldwide :D…..people all over the world wait for my newest blog entry…so lets not keep them waiting and start….

Size;- 3 to 6 months

Things we need

1-Soft felt white and yellow (i used an old jacket for this project)

2-Sewing machine

3-Paper pattern same i used for catterpiller booties

4-Tracing paper

How to make:-

Step 1:-Cut out the fabric using the tracing paper and the paper pattern….cut 2 uppers and 2 soles… 

Step 2:-Use yellow felt to make the pipping of the uppers .cut a long strip of fabric and stitch it on the fabric keeping the right sides facing each other…then fold the strip and sew it on the back side of the upper…the strip that i cut was 2 ‘ wide…so that i can fold easily…        

Step 3-Join the upper and the sole by using the sewing machine…cut the a flower in yellow fabric and stick it on the bootie either with a glue or by few stitches in the middle…also cut a circle of a smaller  size and glue it in the middle of the flower…the finished look of the bootie is like this…

    

Green booties

Hi…I am back with my new addition to the blog…My green booties…I made them for my daughter who has yet to be born some time soon now :)…here are some of the instruction that might be helpful for someone who is interested….
Things you need..
Any fabric…i used soft green felt
Scissors
embroidery floss
tracing paper
ribbon
embroidery needle and paper pattern(the pattern i used is the same that i used for making the blue booties in my blog earlier)
sewing machine
common pins
Lets get started..
Step 1: First of all iron your fabric..that will smooth out all the wrinkles and help in cutting the fabric neatly…after ironing with right sides facing each other fold the fabric in two layers like this

Step 2: Now pin the paper pattern to the fabric with common pins to hold it in place..also place the tracing paper in between the pattern and the fabric…now with a tracing wheel or a pencil trace the out line carefully…both for the upper and for the sole..

Step 3: when both parts are traced remove the pins and cut the pieces out with a sharp scissors.you will have 4 parts..2 soles and two uppers
                                                                                                                                            

Step 4: Since i felt that my fabric is fraying a little, so i decided to add some reinforcement…and for that i sewed a small triangle of the same fabric on the wrong side of the upper at the end of the notch i made for slip in opening

Step 5: After that i stitched the ribbon at the ends…this helped securing the ends as well as adding the decoration to the upper..also when you stitch that piece of triangle at the back try to make neat stitches…mine are not so neat…but you can add some decoration on it afterwards….

Step 6: Now with wrong sides of the fabric facing each other start doing the blanket stitch..work your way all around and you will have the shape of a bootie in your hands…i used a bright red embroidery floss and i used all six strands…try to take nice even stitches…

Step 7: Now fold the raw edges at the back with simple hemming….after that take something pointed and make hole at the back and in the front along the ribbon..i used a screw driver…after that using blanket stitch again decorate and secure the holes like this

Step 8: After completing all the holes pass the ribbon through the holes starting at the back and making a knot at the front…and you can also pass the ribbon starting at the front and cutting the excess of it at the back and simply securing at the back….i like both looks..here is the final finished look..:)….do send your comments…

Blue Booties

Using the pattern at http://www.heatherbaileydesign.com/BittyBooties.pdf I made these blue booties.i had this beautiful blue and pink soft felt at home so I decided to work with them…I gave some opening at the back of the bootie to give more ease and also added strap up bow made of cotton for tying the booties at the back.

Cross-Stitch Booties

Me and my husband made these booties for our daughter. One of them is done by me the other one is done by my husband. The booties were bought from the market but the cross-stitched duckling was done at home.

Pink Booties

These are another set of booties I made. The sole of the booties is very soft felt. But I feel the upper should have been of some softer and brighter material. But since these are totally hand made so I like them. The flowers were taken from old hair pins.

First Booties

These are my first booties. They might seem a little raw, but they gave me a alot of experince for making proper booties. I will be making more booties later and wil post by results. The strange looking language on the booties is "Baby" written in Korean alphabets. I might upload instructions of how I made them later.
