A friend gave me a voucher for my birthday so I thought I'd splash out on the wayfarer bundle. I was a little nervous of trying to make shoes but I was really pleased with my first attempt. The instructions were very clear and helpful. I made quilted soles for the inners and used a non-slip material for the outers in a pair for my nephew. Now I am figuring out how to felt an old cardigan that has already shrunk slightly in the wash to make a pair for me. The instructions have given me the confidence to give it a go! Thanks T+T for another great pattern.

I love this pattern as do my two little grand daughters and their parents. These little shoes are quick and east to make, even for beginners. The instructions are really clear and they fit beautifully. Great scrap buster too!! This will be a pattern I return to constantly.

These little shoes are so cute! This was only my 5th sewing project ever and it was very clear and simple to follow! My son loves his!

I sewed these in a size 5 for my toddler daughter, and it was a very simple sew! I used cotton fabric for all but the sole, which I made of leather. The shoes do fall off her feet more easily than the brand name crib shoes that she wears, so I think next time I will have to tweak the elastic length or maybe the placement of the heel with respect to the toe piece. I have not yet tried these in any larger sizes, so I don't know how that particular aspect of the pattern works in the larger sizes.

I made the kids slippers for my son. They were great for using up scrappy pieces of fabric. Fit was perfect and instructions were clear. I sewed leather soles for the first time, switching to a leather needle and lengthening the stitch for that section. They turned out so well and my son was very pleased he could choose his own fabrics and colours, right in time for “slipper day” at school! I’m looking forward to stealing time to make a pair for myself!

Another fantastic pattern from Twig + Tale. The instructions are so clear and easy to follow, with the pictures and videos to go along with it. I thought these tiny shoes would be really fiddly but the steps were very clear. Absolutely love the extra info in all the T+T patterns with up-cycling inspiration, links to the Facebook group and more. Can’t wait for my next Twig + Tale purchase!

This is a great pattern! Really easy to follow with clear instructions. A pleasure to sew these shoes and a great way to use up scrap fabric.

Absolutely love this pattern - easily followed instructions and the more you make the easier they are !

I love this pattern, though I made a few decisions that maybe weren't for the best, which I hope I can help others avoid. Although my slippers are great and I do love them, I decided not only to quilt my outer wool fabric with cotton/wool wadding for extra warmth, but I also chose a thick felt for the outer soles. Unsurprisingly this created thick seams around the sole which I just couldn't grade down to the extent I would have wished. Next time I will choose thinner fabric for the soles... They are warm though. Also I should say that as a child I wanted to be a fairy. Finally I have my fairy slippers!
Regarding the fitting, I hadn't realized until starting on the pattern that I have two kippers for feet! Although narrow at the toe end, they turn out to be wide at the heel end. And I seem to have flat feet as well! Luckily there are great instructions in this pattern on how to make fitting adaptations and the slippers fit perfectly.

I made the adult slippers/shoes first (the pink ones)- the slight gathering at the toes was a little tricky - but the instructions were very clear. Use the ones in the PDF rather than the summary page until you now what you are doing. I bought puffer paint as suggested by some FB contributors and put it on the soles to make them non-slip, which worked well. Sizing was good - follow the directions when you measure your feet. I have just finished a toddler’s pair but my grandson hasn’t had a chance to try them on - made with odd scraps of material! I think they were a little simpler to make as they didn’t have the gathers. Looking forward to making some more in warmer material.
