Cutest Homemade Shoes Ever

Posted on 06. Oct, 2009 by Trish.

The other day I was browsing around looking for slipper patterns for my 2 year old.  I have some leftover sherpa suede material and some of that bumpy material that is usually on the bottom of footie pajamas, so I figured might as well make her up a pair.  I am a total slipper girl, [...]
