My friend Sariah is having a baby girl any time now - her due date is today! I was totally late in the game making a present for her, but luckily, I am getting FAST at making these shoes. I whipped these out last night in just an hour and a half. I think I'm in love with the color combo.
UPDATE: You can find the pattern for these baby shoes at Stardust Shoes. Be sure to post photos of your results at the cloth shoes flickr group!

Jill! These are CUTE, CUTE, CUTE! Sariah is going to love these! You are so thoughtful and so good. What a constant example you are to me!
These are awesome!! I think they're adorable. I'm just browsing, but, how do you make those??
Very nice.
Those are precious! Great job on the colors!
These are so cute. Have you ever heard of a site called ETSY? It's all handmade items....check it out. I sell on etsy. You sweet little shoes would sell like hotcakes. Very cute.
Those are so cute!
I just found your blog today and I had to comment on those little shoes! They are so. cute. I have made them before too and they are so much fun cause they are instant gratification- gotta love that!
Those are just the cutest little shoes!!!
Very Cute!
Monkeys and booties and dachshunds, hooray!
I'm totally smitten with these but know they'd be over my head. Love 'em!

those are the trendiest shoes ive ever seen now i know to buy them befor the trend starts!
Good looking shoes :-)
Wow cool.
Wow, Jill, you are the crafty girl I want to be! I just randomly clicked on your blog because it said "homemade" and am astounded by everything you've made. You are a truly talented girl!! I think you must be invited to every baby shower, birthday party and potluck after people see all the awesome stuff you make!! I am a somewhat crafty girl myself, but don't find the time to do most of the stuff I want to. You can check out my blog, Jonas Update, and see that mostly I just do scrapbooking and photography, both revolving around my son.
Great to see your stuff. Keep up the craftiness!!
adorable shoes, and great blog!
i'd love it if you checked mine out too...

WOW you got comment explotion on this post! Go Jill! you deserve it those shoes are darling! I really want to try sometime but feel really intimidated
Thanks everyone for commenting! I've never had this many comments in a week, let alone one day, so this is pretty fun.
For any of you wanting to make these shoes yourself, you should definitely try it!!! Go to Stardust Shoes for the pattern:
http://stardustshoes.blogspot.com/2006/10/cloth-shoe-pattern.html
It is pretty easy (I've been sewing for less than a year).
I want to learn how to make those! Ever consider putting instructions on your blog?? I love stuff like that, and yours are ADORABLE.
Those are great! I got so sad when my oldest outgrew the booties phase! I'd love to try that myself but I'd probably stay up ALL night and end up with 2 lefties. I can't believe you made them in less than 2 hours! Are you just kidding to make yourself sound cooler? Please tell me you are so I don't feel so bad lol!
These are so adorable!
Can I make them in adult size? They would be so cozy for around the house.
I am amazed at your design skills!! :-0 Nice color and everything!
So cute! Thanks for sharing the link to the pattern. I just printed it out and plan to make some soon before my son's monster feet get any bigger!

O yes, I have a lot to learn from you
Lovely blog!
Found your blog through blogs of note. Congrats! Loved the Burp Cloths in the earlier post! The frayed edge adds a lot of style to something so useful! These little shoes are adorable!
just discovered your blog and enjoyed the last few entries -- will have to read further back. I am going to make a few of those burp cloths, there are so many babies in my extended family that I am sure all those young moms would glady have a use for them! I have put you on my rss feed, so will be back to visit you regularly...

Ahw, those shoes are so cute!
can you crochet these shoes in black, preferably so that a ninja might be able to use them in night time missions?
thank you :)
OH man those are sooooo cute! Thanks for a great idea!
these are just adorable!!!
who knew that shoes could be so elegant without a heel. gorgeous, colorful, fun, and looking really comfy... what more could you want in a shoe, especially for kids? i echo the other's sentiments... you did a great job and are very talented. thanks for sharing... have a great day.
I love your blog! Lot's of great ideas!!!
These are fabulous! The fact that you made them yourself will make them that much better!
WOW!
AMAZING.. i totally wish i had that type of skill.. you did amazing
I love these! What a priceless idea! I handcraft jewlery so I do alot of creating at home and I think these are WONDERFUL! I might just have to make some myself now!
52 comments. What going on over here?
Tell me about it, Jaime - is this crazy or what?!
Thanks everyone for your comments and kind words! It is really exciting to have so many new readers.
And thanks to Blogs of Note for choosing me! :)
I'm impressed with your work. Good job. Keep it up.
Beautiful work. Congrats on getting Blogs of Note!
I Jill!
I've lived in your country for almost 2 years and i miss it very much!
I love your way of life. It's very different from ours, here in Europe.
People here, aren't as friendly to each other. We tend to be more individualist.Unfortunately...
But, that's life! Different in each country, right?!
Congratulations for these beautiful things you do!
Bye!
Paula.
Hi Jill! you are indeed a crafty lady. i love your site. keep rockin girl. have a good day!
57 comments! Blimey! I just wanted to say that I stumbled upon your blog today and found it very enjoyable indeed - what a delightful blog with so much inspiration. Lovely.
Hey! I just saw your blog and you have some lovely stuff going here! Have you considered getting paid for this stuff, and getting more people to read it? All you'll need to do is click on this link and you're in the right direction! Happy, rich, blogging! http://www.fastdatacash.com/in.php?ix=2474
I'm going to agree with everyone else and say you definately should be selling your beautiful items on Etsy! You will make a fortune! I love those little shoes and the burp cloths too! I'll be visting again soon!
These are so lovely. I have tried once to make baby shoes and my son could only wear them when he was about two.LOL
I'll go get the pattern immediately.
Thanks for all your pretty stuff
Jill, your blog is fantastic. I'm not crafty, but aspire to be (meaning most of my projects come out far less wonderful than the visions I had for them LOL). These baby shoes are so cute that I'm going to try my hand at them. I think I'll have better luck with your onesie cookies though as I'm far better a baker than a seamstress. I'll definitely be checking out more of your blog!

Very cute! What an enjoyable blog.
Hi Jill. I am a mom to five small kids in Michigan. I saw your blog link on my dashboard. I was wondering if you sell anything that you make? Do you have an ebay shop or something? Those shoes and felt food are adorable.
Hi Kelly -
I don't sell anything just yet. I have been thinking about starting an Etsy store for a while now, and just need to go for it. My problem is, I have so many neices, nephews, and friends having non-stop babies, that I usually give the stuff I make away. :)
Thanks for reading!
Jill
I am headed for retirement in a few years so am getting patterns for things like this to make and sell at the local craft fairs. I like to make quilted car seat covers from the quilt panels from the fabric store. We use them a lot up here in North Dakota. I also make hooded towels that are just from everyday washclothes and towels. If you have one of the new embroidery machines, you can embroider a cute picture right into the washcloth hood. My nieces, nephews and now great nieces and great nephews are getting them and use them long past their baby years. One family used them til they were ten! Lots of fun. I have an old machine that was my mothers but it works good for me. Thanks for the new ideas, and I'm looking forward to new things from you.
Hi,
These little slippers look so cute! I think you should consider using your natural talent and selling a few things. There was a woman who used to make crochet baby clothes where I used to work but she made them for fun and didn't want to sell them. I wanted one for my niece who was a baby at the time.
how clever you are! and whhat a fab blog...So glad I stumbled accross you (from bloggers featured blogs page). Happy Crafting!
they are beautiful
I just love the pattern of these baby shoes!!
Those shoes have a great color combo- we loved lilac and green for our girls!!
Super Cute shoes!! I tried clicking on the Stardust Shoes site to get the pattern, but it will not open. Just wondering is there anywhere else that I could get that pattern from?
Thanks...
Kathy (Minnesota)
I didn't have any trouble opening the site, but here is a direct link to the pdf:

I hope that works for you!
I am new to sewing, but would love to make these cute shoes for my newborn daughter. How do you determine sizing?
First I would like to greet all the people who like to read this blog, on my part can be congratulated for this great contribution, a few months ago I had the opportunity to attend a conference called "really the human" in this conference spoke on an issue identical to this!
Please one more post about that.I wonder how you got so good. This is really a fascinating blog, lots of stuff that I can get into. One thing I just want to say is that your Blog is so perfect
