Fun with Felt — Baby Booties

15 years ago

I never thought I would be able to sew these cute baby booties, but this was my very first try and I’m quite pleased with how they turned out! If you would like to make your own, I highly recommend you follow the detailed directions and pattern found here. It seemed a bit intimidating at first, but I just took it one step at a time. Turning just $0.40 worth of felt, and some ribbon scraps into such cuteness seemed like magic to me. What a fabulous (and very inexpensive) handmade baby gift!

This pair is being sent to my blogging friend, MaryAnne from Thrifty Craft Mama. As many of you know, MaryAnne is expecting a baby girl this July. Congratulations, MaryAnne, and bests wishes for the little one!

In other news, I will be offline all next week and without internet access — GASP! But fear not, loyal reader, for I have scheduled several new and exciting posts to go out during the week. Hey, just because I am going through internet withdrawl, doesn’t mean you have to. I’m scheduled to return back online Monday, June 15th (when I am also scheduled to appear on NBC’s The 10! Show to demonstrate frugal paper crafts for kids)!

There are lots of money saving tips, craft, and activity ideas ahead. You won’t want to miss it. If you haven’t already subscribed to the feed in a reader or by email, now would be a great time to do so. See you next week!
