With the cold weather settling in, and the temp dipping down into the teens for several weeks now, Sadie has been long overdue for a pair of warmer winter boots, and I have been scouring the online pattern sources looking for something simple, and mukluk-y. I haven't been so lucky, so I had to make up my own pattern. I am kind of liking how it came out.
I found this awesome, double-sided minky fabric when I was down in the big city. I had no idea what it would be good for, but it was 75% off, and so soft and warm, so I bought the rest of the bolt. Turns out, it sews up into some sweet little muks. Sometimes those impulse purchases do come in handy!
I still have a few tweaks I need to make on this pattern, but I think overall it's a good one. {Really quick and easy to put together, which is the only way I sew these days} In fact, the hardest thing about it was just trying to get Sadie to sit/ stand still long enough so I could take a picture.
Those look so cozy! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI love those! I wish I could sew!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love them! I REALLY love her dress too. Did you make it? Some of those fabrics in it look vaguely familiar. Gorgeous outfit. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteHaha Krista! That is awesome. Yeah, I was cleaning out my craft room last week and I found the bag with all the fabric scraps I won on your blog giveaway... they were perfect with a few other trims to make a little gypsy dress {I actually sewed 4--trying to get a few things together for the Thanksgiving craft fair:}
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies!
ReplyDelete@Amanda, these are pretty easy to sew. Maybe when I get it together a little more I will post a pdf pattern and tutorial.
@Erin--it must be getting pretty cold down there now? Maybe Miss A. needs some little mukluks too:)
