These shoes are so quick to make!. I've been making them section by section between house work. The bunnies are so cute. It was my first time embroidering on wool but I am happy with the results. My little one was grabbing them off the table before I even had the insole put in, even though they are for her birthday. I know they will be loved.
Cool project during lockdown..I made them totally using old bits and Bob's. It was slightly harder than I expected, but I am a novice at this type of sewing.. very pleased with the end result.
I was a bit hesitant about making these shoes as I've made shoes using other patterns before and they have always been so fiddly! I should have known that a Twig and Tale pattern would be so much easier. Clear, concise instructions, it was a pleasure to make these shoes. My littlest girl is super happy with her new slippers for Kinder!
Great pattern! This made an adorable baby gift. It was easy to follow and fun to make.
Ive not yet made them but gosh the pattern seems easy to follow and the designs are out of this world.....im going to make the grandchildren these for Christmas.
Have not yet made any, but looking forward to soon for my grandchildren
These patterns are incredible. The designs are beautiful, the instructions are magnificent and the outcome is just gorgeous. The best PDF patterns I have ever used!
These little shoes are amazing! I am making a bunch for a school fundraiser. Such a great way to use up little scraps of precious fabrics. It takes about an hour to make one pair (if you omit the face and ears). The sizing seems a wee tad on the small side, but then again the seam allowance is only 1/4 inch and any variation to that could really change the finished shoe size. I am experienced but not expert and it is possible my seams don't always stay at 1/4 inch. I highly recommend this pattern. Every single shoe you finish will make your heart sing!!
