One of the 4th grade teachers at our school is having twins! A new baby girl and baby boy are expected in early December. I decided to make a little welcome gift for the babies (and to secretly practice my upcoming Grandma skills), but instead of knitting booties, I made some shoes. So fun and although so tiny, it was easy. I truly felt like the elves in the Shoemaker and the Elf fairytale. I made them overnight!
This is for
SHE: Pleated toe MaryJanes in pink and purple polka dots
This is for
HIM: Baby loafers!
And for
THEY: Stylin' little soft shoes (lined with super soft terrycloth) The belt and buckle have velcro underneath the buttons. Hard to tell in the photo, but the soles are only 3 inches long. Teeny tiny, but I bet they'll still be too big when the twins are born.
The pattern was free and found at a blog called schwinandschwin.blogspot.com. John suggested that I make another pair for GUS (MaryJanes for the front paws and loafers for the back??)
so cute!!!
