Black Suede Baby Shoes
For my cousin's baby.
I thrifted an old suede jacket on 99 cent tag day a long time ago, with projects like baby shoes in mind. It was too thin a suede to use without a lining, otherwise this project would have been easier. It was especially fiddly since you can't really pin leather and it could have used some pinning. The pattern is from this Japanese craft book. Looks like it's out of print now. Sadly, I didn't get a pic of the top I embellished with some flowers to match. (So why am I even telling you about it?) That's what I get for starting projects 10 min. before I'm supposed to leave for the shower.

Would basting tape or glue have helped?
I still have the costume. Oops.
I'm sure glue would've helped. I use a glue stick on fabric all the time and I wonder if it would've worked on this. Is this the kind of thing that glue you got at the Deseret Book clearance sale would be good for? Remind me what it was called.
Those are SO CUTE! Wanted to come to that shower.
Holy wow. SO CUTE. Sad I didn't make it :(
best sign ever. the shoes are pretty awesome too. :)
Adorable! I have one of those vintage reprint baby shoe patterns, and I never thought of getting raw materials via DI. You're so clever. :)
I'm so glad that Jane is raising her ebenezer to remember the important times
