I finally did them!


Kylie's first handmade shoes... They have been cut and sitting around for almost 2 months(I was actually a bit intimidated to make them, thanks to my sil.. j/k!! :P) It really wasnt that hard, just time consuming! Ran into a few errors that extended my time(I finished them at 2:30am :S, cant you tell I was on a mission?). I learned a few dos/don'ts for the next pair that I will be altering as the current ones is a tid bit tight for her THICK feet.. It took a while to get them ON, they fit once they are on her feet but not for much longer, maybe if I had done them 2 months ago, they would have had a nice fit.. :P Already looking forward to making another pair!

Those are great! i'm having the hardest time finding shoes for Nathaniel... i want them flexible on the bottom because he's just learning to walk, but all the shoes i find have really hard bottoms! :S But those are just perfect!

BUT i would alter them bigger for Nathaniel, these are more for the younger babes. Kylie just barely fits in them. Also have some non-slip soles for the older ones. The next shoes I'll make will have them since Kylie is already pulling herself up to stand..
