Baby Shoes

On the second try, I was able to whip up these quick booties for our new baby J.

I used the tutorial and pattern here. As printed it turned out to just barely squueze onto his 4 month feet, so I'd say the would fit a baby 3 months and under. I enlarged it 115% and they fit perfectly. They are two layers of fleece and have double elastic bands so they ACTUALLY STAY ON!!! So simple to do... I'll be trying to figure out a 6-12 mo size! and maybe even larger for E!

These I made from this tutorial for my neice... hope they fit!

New Shoes for E

Now that the weather is getting a bit warmer, E doesn't really need those big fluffy boots anymore... So we tried out another of the Sweet Pea Patterns. 

These are the Jack and Jill Loafters, and look so cute on him... However, I think I need to do a bit of tinkering... I would like to add some elastic in the back I think, as they don't stay on very well.  And may shorten my elastic next time too- They don't snug up very well.  and unfortunately, I didn't sew it on quite tight enough and one end has popped out already, so I need to figure out how to fix that... Love these shoes though!
