Dont you just

love an easy pincushion. These take only

a few minutes to stitch up. There isn't

any glueing involved. Most of these

shoe pincushions are made with stiffer

old walking baby shoes. Those are adoreable!

But what makes these shoes differ from

the others is that one of these sets is

just crochet baby booties. This white pair

with pink ribbons are for a baby about

6 months old. If your baby has a set of

these crochet booties - just trace

around the bootie & cut out a pattern

from white cardstock. If your sock does

not have any lace on it - just hand stitch

it quickly on with matching thread. Now

insert the pattern inside of the sock,

Put the sock inside of the bootie & start

stuffing. Stuff only up to the edge of the

baby bootie. Cut out a round ball - mine

was from white flannel. Its so soft.

Stuff the round ball hard & just insert it

inside of the sock. Do not push it far

down. Try to keep it soft looking.

For the cute little baby black dress-up

shoes. All you do is stitch up a

pillow from sweet pink thin cotton

& stuff it inside of the shoe. Just make

sure that all of the seams are

stuffed under where you cannot see

them. If for

any reason you want to do something

else with these booties & shoes

then just pull out the pillows &

the round balls. My little embroidery

scissors fit right inside of the shoe.
