I Am Cheap

Unwilling to spend $30 each on baby shoes to keep the twins' toes warm, I decided to make some myself. I found a pattern over on Stardust Shoes and used it to construct these:



I'm still trying to decide how to further secure the skull and crossbones to each shoe and thinking that stitching in the eyes and nose will probably add the extra security I want. (Should have stitched them on first, but I had no idea the shoes would turn out so well when I started and didn't bother.) I used leftover vinyl from my recent upholstering projects, a pair of old jeans that died, and leftover fabric from two yet-to-be revealed sewing projects. So the shoes cost me nothing, and this makes me very happy.
