Alright, here we go with Baby Bootie 4. This tutorial is for the basic pattern. I'll do one with the pinwheel design another time.

1. Cut out 2 Tops, 2 Backs, and 2 Soles from your main fabric. Repeat with your lining fabric.

2. Place 1 main fabric top and 1 lining top right sides together. Do the same with the backs. Sew 1/4" seam across the top of both. (You can do the other bootie too)



3. Turn right-side out and press.

The other side.

4. Sandwich 1/8" wide elastic between the layers of the Back and tacking one end at the notch.

5. Stretch elastic to the other end and pin. Sew across the elastic and tack at the other notch.



The other side.



6. Attach the shoelaces, cording, or ribbon at notches on the right side. Tack inside seam allowance as shown.



7. Fold tops over backs with the right sides of the main fabric and the right sides of the lining fabric together. Pin in Place.


8. Sew the seam.



9. Pin the other side together, the same as above.



10. Sew the seam. I usually back tack the seams at the notches where the ties and elastic meet.


11. Turn the lining side out and pull the laces out through the top.


12. Put the soles together, one main fabric and one lining fabric wrong sides together. Pin sole to bootie with right sides of main fabric together, as shown. Pin at notches first (toe to toe, heel to heel). Work from the side seam and around the heel, then ease in the toe area.


13. Sew the top to the sole starting at the side seam and working around the heel, just like you pinned it together.




14. If desired, zigzag the seam allowance.






15. Turn right side out. Tie the laces and you're done...with one.





Looks good from the bottom too!






OK! Now you can repeat the steps, and finish the other bootie.




There now you have a pair. Cute, aren't they? You're so smart!
