Suggested fabrics
Exterior: This pattern is suitable for most light-to-medium weight woven fabrics. Quilting cotton, linen and wool blends are my favourites.
Lining: Lightweight cotton.
Soles: Corduroy, denim, or similar sturdy fabric. For shoes intended for a walking baby, please be aware that fabric soles can be slippery, so applying a non-slip treatment is recommended.
Ears: A non-fray fabric (felt, fleece, suede, leather) is recommended so that you can use a single layer.
These little shoes can be also be made from upcycled materials such as felted lightweight woolen jumpers, embroidered linens, woolen blankets (for the larger sizes in particular), vintage sheets and many articles of clothing with meaning, such as a relative's favourite shirt or dress.
