Such a lovely easy make! Perfect giftable item out of such little fabric! Really clear instructions with great sizing advice!
Made a few for Xmas holiday!! I'm hooked on this pattern!! So fun to mix it up!! Thanks!!
I made my first pair of these last night, and am very happy with the results! I made a child size 13 in fleece. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. I'll be making another pair tonight!
I have made 2 pairs of Wayfarers so far...more to come! Suede patches on the soles to reduce slipping.
The only issue I am struggling with is sizing as I live in Canada and we use a different size chart. I'm sure I can find a conversion somewhere.
I've added photos of the vests and a rain hat I made too - I love Twig and Tale patterns!
I made a shoe for everyone in my family for christmas. Easy, quick and so much fun.
I'm so excited about these shoes! Made as a gift from upcycled blankets. The outside is vintage wool. I embroidered little birds on the tops.
I followed the instructions carefully and it worked like magic!
I'm ridiculously happy with how they turned out. And both my children have requested a pair so I'll be making more soon!
Thank you so much!❤
Loved making these slippers! Found the pattern and instructions extremely clear and learnt a few tricks even though I’m not new to sewing.
Lovely pattern! I made one pair for my husband (size 11) and one pair for our little son (14 months, size child 7). I made 2 sizes bigger than recommended, because of the thick lining material. I have used a woolen coat.
The indoor shoes will keep their feet warm in winter :)
Instructions are clear and helpful. But, could you add a picture of sewing 'just outside those lines' in step 14 and 'sew just inside the row' in step 22. It was not clear the first time where to sew.
