Animal Boots - Child
Digital Pattern + Video Class
Children love these fun, soft-soled, fully-lined indoor boots that are designed to keep feet warm and snug.
Have fun choosing and sewing 13 irresistible critters, and what's more, thanks to the cleverly enclosed elastic, they stay-on the most active feet!
These boots can be sewn on a regular sewing machine - no fancy equipment required!
The fully lined, wide toe box design ensures comfort with no scratchy seams exposed. Perfect for Waldorf/Steiner indoor shoes.
Skill Level: Adventurous beginner - Intermediate
Make old things new again! Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with recycled fabrics. Look to wool blankets, shrunken sweaters, suiting weight wool skirts or trousers and leather/corduroy garments for inspiration.
Video Support: A full course of clear, concise videos accompany this pattern, alongside a comprehensive written and photographed instruction booklet.

For Older Children: The Adult Animal Boots pick up right where the children's sizes finish, so the Adult pattern works well for older kids who have outgrown the children's range. The largest size being an adult size 15.
For Younger Children: During the testing process, we found sewing the baby sizes too fiddly to be enjoyable, hence the decision not to include them in the pattern. The Animal Shoes pattern is an alternative for babies/smaller children.

My girl really lives her tiger boots! It was fun to sew them. Easy tutorial. Clear and friendly as always!
At first I felt intimidated but I realized very quickly that t was able to follow the instructions one step at the time, and end up with a nice finish (note: I took a shortcut and used fabric paint for some face details)
Really enjoyed making these boots! The pattern is clear and complete.
A wonderful pattern with easy to follow instructions. My kids were so excited about the different animal options and their shark slippers turned out so cute!
I made these for my granddaughter and I am so pleased with how they turned out 💕baby 🦈 🐈⬛ Cozy fleece inside - no slip soles
My first ever sewn shoes and my kids love them
The sole is a bugger to put on but the instructions make it easy to get the whole pattern put together. My son has a wide foot with high arches. But it does fits him.
