This week, I refurbished a baby doll. When it came to making shoes for it though, I admit I was a little stumped. I had never made shoes before. I was so pleased with my first attempt I plan on making more shoes in the future.

This pattern will fit a large 20" (or larger) baby doll or newborn baby. (Wish I had it when my daughter was born!)
Items needed:
1 square felt
Embroidery Floss
Needle
Instructions:
Cut 4 of pattern. Turn 2 over, so you now have a pair of felt pieces for a right and a left foot.
Cut holes in the top 2 felt pieces to create the strap and foot openings for the top of the mary janes. If you accidentally cut the hole too large, affix a piece of elastic running from the left to right side of the strap. This will create a sling back that can hold the shoe on the foot and remain hidden under the felt heel.
Embellish with decorative stitches, buttons, etc. Sew the outsides together with a blanket stitch.
Voila, little mary janes!
If you enjoyed this pattern, please let me know!
Thanks,
The Grundy Girl
