our little Lukester has already quite a few pair of shoes to grow into, but he currently just grew out of his old favorite ones and is in an in between stage. If it was still summer I wouldn't care about him wearing shoes or socks, but its getting cold. I came across this free pattern HERE and decided to make some new shoes for the Luke.
They turned out to be much easier then I expected. I did a fleece lining for the top ones so they could be extra cozy. The ones below are just fleece and remind of me of little baby toms.
The one thing I did do different was add some extra fabric on top to look a little more boyish. I love how it turned out. You can see below what I did. Super easy.
1. cut out two pieces of the size you want for the over flap. Then sew then right sides together and then turn out. Then do a top stitch over if you wish for that look. Then sew on the buttons.
2. then with a needle and thread, sew on to the top fabric of little shoes.
I love them! They turned out so well. I love your boyish touch!
