Baby booties are a quick, fun project and make perfect use of your fabric scraps that are too small for everything else. That fact that it takes very little fabric is probably my favorite part about this project and you end up with the cutest booties that all the other babies and their parents will surely envy.
In this tutorial, we show you how to create two of the four bootie styles, designed by Ellie Mae, found in this envelope. You can watch how to create both of them or, if you're interested in just one, you'll have an option inside the video to click on the preferred shoe of your choice. One of these styles will be sure to suit your needs and they make such lovely baby gifts.
Please note that the notions ask for size 3/8” grommets. I created the medium size booties and found these grommets to be too large. I ended up using 5/32” eyelets and I found it to work perfectly, even with a 3/8” width ribbon. If you've never used eyelets or grommets before, make sure you purchase the kit that comes with the tool to help you install it. In addition to the tool, you will also need a hammer or mallet.
OMG they are just too adorable! #2 is on the way… and would love to make some little booties like these! Plus would make great baby shower gifts for girlfriends!
Super cute! I have always loved Kwik Sew patterns for their ease of directions. I am so glad you did this tutorial because I am always on the look out for cute, fast and simple baby items that can be given as gifts. I am especially thrilled that you chose to do a tutorial on putting in the eyelets because I have never done that before and your step-by-step directions are the best. Thank you for your tutorials – love them!
These are the cutest booties I have EVER seen — love the styles and colors — you Rock !}
