Easy Baby Booties Tutorial

Ive made these in preemie, newborn and infant sizes and they stay on the tiniest feet♥


First you make your pattern.
Preemie- 2.5" long, 1.5" wide for bottom of shoe. 1.25" long, 1.5" wide for top of shoe. 2"x4" for cuff.
newborn- 3.5" long, 2" wide for bottom of shoe. 1.75" long, 2' wide for top of shoe. 2.5"x4" for cuff.
infant- 4.5" long, 2.5" wide for bottom of shoe. 2.25" long, 2.5" wide for top of shoe. 3"x5" for cuff.
Round the edges of the top and bottom of shoe. Stretch should go across the width of the shoe and the smaller measurement of the cuff.

I choose to sew these but you can serge them also. I just feel it adds bulk on teeny tiny sizes.
