Cute Baby Booties

I'm really proud that in the upcoming issue of Discover Dolls Magazine my baby shoe pattern is being shared and showcased. 

This pattern is so easy to use and so simple but you can produce the cutest shoes, all you will need is a little bit of fabric, very simple sewing ability, you can even stitch these by hand if you don't have a sewing machine and your imagination.

The magazine will contain a full step by step tutorial on how to make the shoes. 

On my example pair I used 2 co-ordinating fabrics and embellished them with ribbon and seed beads to show off the fabric.  

But the sky is the limit with these cute little shoes. You can make them as simple or as decorative as you like.

 

The next issue of Discover Dolls will be out soon!

Just a Little Riot??

I've found the most beautiful wool, it's by King Cole and it's called Riot. It's so soft and fluffy and I love love love the varities of colour that it comes in.  The wool is variagated, posh word for meaning mixed colours in no particular pattern, I love using this wool for knitting baby booties because it means no two are ever the same, the variation in colours is always a surprise. 

The particular style I've used for these booties is a very simple design which just gives the Riot wool the chance to shine.
