Twig and Tale Shoe Pattern Illustration  

Make old things new again! Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with recycled fabrics. Look to fine, soft sweaters, hand embroidered napkins, gently-used vintage sheets, and leather/corduroy garments for inspiration.

Great gifts

Before making these I couldn't see how the fabric magically turned and folded into lined slippers, but thanks to the excellent instructions and videos it worked!
Good to have all the sizes - pics are of some I made for my baby, toddler, mother and grandmother.

Even my husband thinks they're cute!

These shoes were so lovely to sew - I started with the newborn size using a supersoft chambray dress that my daughter had years ago. Since then I've made a couple of bigger sizes. Even for a novice sewist like me, it's possible to get a good finish and they make such lovely presents. I intend making more - I have a soft jumper of my daughter's that I "accidentally" shrunk in the wash that will be just perfect.

What an easy sew!

Thanks again for such a lovely pattern. I upcycled an old woolen blanket and a sweater that got washed too hot accidentally. The soles are made of scraps of leather and thickenend by a layer of felt from another crafting project of mine. Love, Jitka

Great Pattern

The pattern and instructions are so well written and easy to follow. Such a quick sew and they use such small amounts of favric making this the perfect pattern to use up scraps.

Great pattern. Easy to follow and economical to make. I’ve been able to add some culture using Indigenous art fabric scraps from other projects.
