Free Pattern-easy to sew soft baby shoes
I love the great soft leather baby shoes available but I have had a hard time paying $30.00 a pair for the shoes. So my mom helped me to come up with a pattern to sew my own soft leather baby shoes. You don't have to use leather but that is my favorite and I think the most durable material. You can find leather scraps online at places like ebay. You can also look at DI for old leather jackets. If you live in Utah there is a store in Salt Lake kind of near the airport called NPS Market Square that sells leather pieces. They come in pretty big pieces and cost around $30.00 for a piece. I bought a piece of brown leather there and have made 8 pairs of shoes and still have over half of the piece left. If you can't find leather you can use fabric but you will have to allow more room for a seam allowance on the pattern and to turn edges. I scanned the patterns but cannot figure out how to attach them to the blog so if you want my homemade pattern please leave a comment with your email address and I'll email it to you. Good luck and have fun!

I'm interested! Since our ward is all young married students, we have about 3 baby showers a month. I'd love to give such a great gift.
