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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Such a cute addition to the fox vest for a woodland theme baby shower.
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.
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.
These little shoes are so cute! This was only my 5th sewing project ever and it was very clear and simple to follow! My son loves his!
