Hand sewn wool baby girl shoes

I love sewing baby shoes, the image always comes in my head just before I am going to sleep. When I make the shoes I don't want it to end, I have to add a bit of this and a bit of that so it takes me longer times than I need.
These pair of shoes, I used wool knitwear and cotton, the wool fabric is beige/cream so in the end I had to add the purple stitched to brighten it up.



The motif instruction is easy, cut a piece of wool fabric size 2 cm x 6.5 cm,  use DMC embroidery thread  running stitches on the outside edge, for the inside edge  stitch running stitches with the sewing thread and pulled thread until it forms flower. I will add the image next time, I forgot this step!!

cut the fabric to cover the button in circle and use running stitches stitch around the edge and pull the thread till it  forms like a ball, I put a plastic button inside the middle, then pull the thread tight and stitch to close it up.

I can not finish it without a gift bag, it is a little tote bag with lining, I used calico (cotton fabric) for outer and inner bag. On the outside I sewn the blue gingham in the middle of cotton fabric, I used organza ribbon to make the handle, size of this bag is 6 inches x 6 inches.
