Tiny Feet

I kept seeing these tutorials online about how to make little baby shoes. I thought I'd try it out, and these came out so cute! I had some frustrations (cutting the elastic too long, sewing machine needle getting stuck, thread breaking) but in the end got it done.

I made them with a remnant of this cute jersey fabric with rockets and aliens. My friend had a baby boy a month ago, and I think I'll just toss them in with the other gifts for him.

I have some gender neutral baby fabric remnants that need a purpose. I'll probably make some of these shoes for baby girl too, now that I understand how to do it. And ya know? With all these cute handmade baby things I've tried out lately, I should just make a stash of each of them. Then whenever someone has a baby (since there are lots of preggers lately!) I've got a gift already together!

So cute!

I am so proud of myself for doing this! And they were so easy. It gave me confidence to tackle all the handmande Christmas gifts I'm planning!

I'm so excited. My friend Gina just had her third child, the first boy! So rather than run out and buy a gift, I decided to make her some things. I did the first today and it was so easy I might have to do this whenever someone has a baby. The rest involve the sewing machine, and since Monkey is napping I decided to hold off.

I got all three of the ideas online and will definitely post pics & links when they are done!
