Free Pattern to Make Your Own Baby Booties

Things have gotten so crafty around here lately with all sorts of patterns and instructions for how to make lots of breastfeeding and baby accessories. When I saw these adorable baby booties and the free downloadable pattern from Heather Bailey (via Kiddley), I couldn’t resist sharing them too. You can make these Bitty Booties from any combination of thick wool suiting, high-quality felt, leather or ultra-suede. The instructions offer patterns for sizes 0-3 months and 3-6 months but I suspect you could readily adapt the pattern for larger sizes. For inspiration and wonderfully creative ideas for how to decorate your own Bitty Booties, take a look at the flickr pool of over 100 photos of completed projects!
Now don’t get the mistaken impression that I have time to sit around and make crafts all day long. I realize that new mothers aren’t going to have a lot of free time on their hands! This would be a fun project to make while you’re pregnant or to give as a baby gift. Of course, if you think these Bitty Booties would be adorable on your own child (who wouldn’t?!) then I hope you’ll enjoy taking the time out to sew this rewarding project!
These are darling booties! Easy to make, and a great idea for all ages, really. Thank you for posting practical and useful ideas! Perfect for Grandmothers’ projects.
These are so cute! Printed it out for someday…
“Someday” for me too – my husband says I’m not “allowed”
to start a new sewing project until I’ve finished the last one (generally a good rule, I grudgingly admit). I still need to sew some ties on the last batch of baby bibs!
How kick proof are these?
They are DARLING!
Thanks for sharing!
THEY ARE GORGIOUS.
IWANT TO SAW THEM FOR MY DAUTHERS
Look easy, cute and relatively fast to make. Someone is creative to think this up.
