Sew baby booties and shoes with this collection of fifteen adorable free baby bootie & shoe patterns gathered from
all over the web.
Try whipping up a cute pair of booties for your next baby shower, and have fun embellishing the booties with
colorful trims. And if baby is walking, consider making the sole of the bootie or shoe from a non-slip material such
as leather. And if you do decide to make your shoes from leather, suede, or vinyl, be sure to use a thicker needle
in your sewing machine which will be able to pierce through the thicker leather, suede, or vinyl more easily.
And because they’re so small, sewing a pair of fabric baby shoes can be a great way to use up scraps of fabric you
may have leftover from other projects. But because the fabric pieces for baby booties are so small, be especially
accurate when cutting out your fabric pieces, because a piece that’s cut just a little bit off – just inside or outside
of the cutting line can greatly affect the size of your finished booties.

Sewing Quick Tips:
Tip #1: When sewing through elastic, remember to use a ballpoint or stretch needle in your
machine, just as you would with any stretchy fabric, to help prevent skipped stitches.
Tip #2: When sewing snaps onto lightweight fabric, consider sewing a piece of interfacing or
stabilizer behind the snap to help reinforce it.
Tip #3: When cutting out a small or an intricate pattern piece, consider rough-cutting around the
piece first to free it from the surrounding fabric, then do your more detailed cutting.
