Steps of baby shoes tutorial Step 1: cut the fabric Draw the outline of the shoes on the paper and cut off the fabric based of the paper pattern. The fabric shapes are shown in the picture 1 and picture 2. Make the sole as the layers of linen fabric, felt and cotton fabric. Sew the layers with some arc so that the fabric inside will have no wrinkles. Make the vamp and the uppers of the shoes of two pieces of linen fabric with pure cotton cloth in the middle; sew the edges to fix them.
Step 2: make a shoe shape Use the sewing machine to sew the edges of the sole. Then use lock stitch to sew the edges to make the sole neat. Combine the shoe and fix with pins. Before you take off the pins you’d better make marks of the junctions of the vamp and sole with pen.
Step 3: embroider the edges of each part Choose a kind of fabric to make to cover the edges of each part. Make basting first; note don’t leave the threads near the edge. As to the corners, you can sew it to an arc first.
Step 4: the ending work Make the edges with sewing machine. Get rid of the basting by cutting. Seam each part together along the marks you have made. Add adhesive type button to the shoes.
