I found this cute little pattern for these really basic, hand sewn, felt bootee's, they are a scandinavian design, but I decided instead of embroidering a scandinavian pattern onto them, to English them up a bit with a simple design that would be loved worldwide.
I started with some cream felt and I embroidered some cute little fluttering butterflies onto each foot.
Next up was a pink pair, these ones I decided to embroider with some flowers blowing in the wind.
My dad took this picture for me, so sorry for the rubbish lighting and colouring!
Then I decided I wanted to change it up a little, I have a pair of espadrilles and was thinking what a simple pattern that would be to re-create into a tiny baby size, so next up I drew out my own pattern pieces, cut them out, and embroidered some little hearts onto them and created my very own baby boottee's.
I was a little worried as I had made the pattern up myself that they might not be a realistic size, but luckily my friend came round with her 6month baby and we tried them on her, and they fitted like a glove.
I also cut out the pattern for some green ones, but I didn't have any fleece that went with the green for lining them, so I have sent them to my mum to finish, i'll put a pic of them finished when she does it. Here is all three together.
