These booties, from Amy Butler's
Little Stitches for Little Ones, were a nightmare to sew. If you are a visual learner, beware Ms. Butler's long paragraphs of explanation and wordy remarks on pattern pieces. There was only one picture in the three pages of directions for this project! The first shoe took me about a month, since I did each step wrong at least twice, thus causing me to seriously consider the possibility that motherhood has damaged my brain. Happily, the second shoe took a small part of one morning. They are very cute and easy to put on, a rarity for baby shoes, but Butler could use a clever sidekick to rewrite her directions. Mine are made from leftover polka dotted denim and lined with Kaffe Fassett shot cotton.
