my creative space - no more sock-chasing...

this week's creative space features the same turquoise cord fabric as last week, though this time fashioned into a wee pair of shoes for missy. after growing weary of picking her socks up off the ground every place we go, i decided that it was finally time to use the baby shoe tutorial i found here, and churn out some slippers. so here they are:



the tutorial is very easy to follow and is sized for babies of 6-9 months of age. i felt fairly tense sewing an 1/8 inch seam around the sole of the shoe, seeing as i've largely only sewn in straight lines up until this point, so my plan for next time is to enlarge the pattern (which i'll need to do anyhow, as missy's foot is almost too long) and try sewing a 1/4 inch seam instead, which i can trim afterwards. advice on whether this plan is doomed to fail would be appreciated!



missy's been wearing her slippers all morning, and they haven't even thought about falling off. huzzah!

take care,
