Silk Slippers

I made these little beauties a little while ago now and will be making more but had to share them here.  These ones have a silk sole but future pairs will have a suede leather sole (perfect for cruising babies and those free walking).


I found the pattern online but it was a little weird so I tweaked it and came up with these.  I still need to tweak it a bit but you get the general idea.


They're 100% ivory silk and have an frayed bow with champagne coloured gem on the toes.  


Might have to make a pair for myself!

Little Princess slippers......


I did it.... I made a fully lined pair of little Princess slippers, complete with a pearl centred rosette and suede leather sole.
I knew it couldn't be too hard..... but getting ones mind around the process when you don't have instructions can be a little daunting.

What do you think?   Not bad hey?

July


My apologies for being incredibly neglectful of my blog page. But, the reason is a positive one. I've been busily sewing and creating new items. Lots of ruffled nappy covers and matching swing tops have been the flavour and I really enjoy making these.

My 11-year old son has requested I make a shirt for him. He's designed it and he wants me to produce it... hrmmm a little designer in the making? He's a clever young fellow.

My almost 2-year old daughter loves mummy's new sewing room and is often found helping me by rearranging my ribbons and such to her liking. I can see she is becoming a keen little seamstress herself (she even has her own little kit).

Here is something I made recently and would love any feedback you may have.
