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.

Perfect scrap buster

These are so sweet. They come together quickly and easily and are the perfect scrap buster. The instructions are fantastic - I especially love the chart to get a perfect fit.

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.

Cute slippers

Fantastic pattern, quick and easy to make. I made four for all my grandchildren from old wool blankets.
Now to make some for the adults!

Great pattern

I loved this pattern. The instructions were very clear and it made a beautiful shoe for my little one, and I loved that I could upcycle a thrifted bag for the outer fabric and soles!

Brilliant make

I really enjoyed making these! I made a pair out of wool and flannel from my stash, and embroidered on the outside as a Christmas gift for a friend, and she appreciated receiving them as much as I appreciated making them! I found the tutorial really instructive. I watched the video before I started, which was great, as I sometimes find patterns with multiple layers and flipping insides-to-outsides get confusing, and I never had to seam rip, which is saying something! I would highly recommend this pattern.

So much easier than I thought

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.

Fabulous little 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.
