I made shoes!

I had a double baby shower to go to last week and needed a gift. Because I waited to long to think about what gift I would get, and I needed both a girl and boy gift, I decided to make something. Now usually I realize the rational goes the opposite way, However since I live in Athens where my buying options are limited to Big Lots and Walmart, I opted to make a gift.
  So I started to look on Etsy for some cute ideas and came accross some really cute baby shoes. I bought a pattern. My mom also had a shower to go to, (shout out to Kristi, Congrats, I wish I could be closer to see the new baby...) and asked if I had any ides, so I told her about my ideas and she ordered a pattern as well. Anyway I made my shoes and here are a couple of the pairs I made.

I am so excited about my shoes! They were a huge hit at my shower and we love them! Your little girl ones are adorable. It's so nice to have baby shoes that actually fit the baby.

I love how you just whipped together these shoes. I love them. I wish I can be that good at sewing one day. That looks like it would be so fun.
