So easy to put together and add some detail!!of course, use recycled blanket and sweatshirt.Its getting like a factory!!
Adults also want to have fun. Here's a hacked Wayfarer with the pattern "Animal shoes"
The pattern is great. At first I couldn’t print it right, but they helped me, and with all the instructions, I was able to make my slippers pretty easily.
Made 3 pairs at the same time. Great pattern! Handstitching the turning hole was a little difficult with real leather soles, I solved the issue by punching holes with my machine (universal needle, no thread).
I bought this pattern for a scrap buster and I just love how adorable they are. A quick sew with very detailed directions. I’ve only made the smallest size for now.
First time sewing a T&T pattern, and it couldn't have been easier. Fabulous instructions and photos to make it easy for a novice sewer. The wayfarer shoes are super cute.
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.
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.
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
The fit is so good and I made mine in brocade. Looks so elegant . It’s perfect to wear inside the house . Love it . Will definitely make more .
