Leather Baby Shoe Fail
by Heather from DollarStoreCrafts.com
I know, it’s not really fair to leave a project half done and call it a fail. This itty bitty baby leather shoe didn’t work out, so we parted ways. Except “parting ways” meant I left it in the bottom of my sewing box and forgot about it for 2 years. I recently unearthed it to share it with you!
The shoe is based on the free shoe pattern from Ohelene. Except I made some modifications. Like cutting a freehand weird shape to put on the top front of the shoe, and folding over the top to cover the elastic, instead of using a leather strip casing, like in the tutorial.
My old sewing machine barely sews, too, so there’s that.
I still want to try making these. Maybe this time I’ll follow the directions.

I know a couple of little boys who would turn this into a holster for a gun next time they play cowboys. They would consider this a rousing success! All in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it?
@marge, good call! My boys would probably love that!
