I used to not be able to sew. Yesterday being Mother’s day I got to reflect on all the wonderful things my mom has taught me. It then got me to thinking that I have been also equally blessed with great friends that are mother’s and they have taught me some really great things. I won’t embarrass my girlfriend on the blog but I know she knows– I am talking about her 🙂 She taught me to sew. Just showing me the ropes, from loading up the machine, and encouragement, and cheering me on. She has shown me how to read a pattern and how to quilt. I have even taken on a project that was probably more than I could chew for being a new sewer and instead of telling me I was over my head, she gave me lots of ideas on how I could achieve my final project. And being extremely pregnant at the time –came over to help me on it. How did I get so lucky??
Having said that- she showed me how to make baby shoes. I love how they turned out. And since she was pregnant- I made sure I made her new little boy a pair too. Of course she could sew her own- but I was so proud of myself learning this- I had to make a few pairs for friends.
I have given them out to many girlfriends. Ironically they have all been boys. I need a girlfriend to have a little girl so I can break out the pink 🙂 These shoes for 0-6 months.
These shoes are really easy to make. I was a new sewer when I attempted these shoes. And they are fast to make. I will admit- the 1st pair took me a while but by the time I got on my 2nd, 3rd and 4th pair. I zipped right through them. They are sooo cute. I wish I sewed a pair for my kids. They are too big now for these cute shoes.

I will feature another great baby sewing gift tomorrow 🙂
