red shoes, everybody should have a pair

 saturday walk and craft - red shoes 4

I am quite proud of these little shoes I whipped up for Tessa yesterday afternoon!  I saw some really cute ones on a friends blog and wanted to try it out.  I found this tutorial and just made a pattern by looking at some of Tessa’s shoes.  I was skeptical that they would work out so I used some scrap fabric even though I didn’t have matching thread.   Probably cost me less than 20 cents each.  They are FAR from perfect, but Tessa likes them anyway.  I plan to make more for sure!  What do you think?  Any suggestions on how to make them better?  I had a hard time getting my pieces to fit together evenly.

They are darling! You might want to use something with bumps on the bottom for traction. I'm not sure what. Maybe you could just hot glue some squiggles on the bottom?

Dang! So cute. I agree with your mom though, she nees some traction or you might have some trouble on your hands.
