Baby Bootie Pattern

[trikegeoff]

good afternoon all

i have been searching the internet with much gusto looking for a pattern for some baby booties.

i have found many patterns for knitted booties but this is of little use to me.

i have found a pattern for some felt booties but im not sure how how these will transfere to leather (i dont want them to hurt the little ones feet)

does anyone have a pattern or a template that they have made leather booties from? and if so could i use it?

this is a project i have wanted to do for along time, and now with one of the girls in my office expecting i now have an excuse.

your help is much appreciated.

I have been looking also, to no avail!

When my children were little there was a brand called TV Booties. I even made a couple of pair for them.

But I didn't save any patterns, and I can't find them in the hope chest, (tho I ought to look again).

I'm working myself up to taking a hand at doing up a run of toddler size patterns.

I just need some measurements for the basic sizes.

But I don't know where to look.

I think this is a neglected area of the footwear trade.

TLF has their baby moc kits, but I can't help more than that.

I never made booties but I made dozens and dozens of Tandy"s "Baby Mocs". They were really cute. Don't see them on-line or in the catalog anymore.

Geoff,

Here's some old patterns that I have picked up over the years. Hopefully they will be of some help.

Hey Paul,

If you tell me what areas to measure I'm sure my 8 week old daughter wouldn't mind me taking a few measurements for the infant section of the pattern project.

Chris,

Besides the obvious toe to heel length, to which you'd want to add a good bit for 1st yr. growth, you'd also want a width circumference + at the ball.

And because the child probably won't be able to cooperate and point the toe, you'd also want a generous heel measurement. This would be taken from the back point of the heel, around instep and back again.

Here is a measuring diagram for a big person's foot with fit points delineated. I am referring to fit points #1 and #5.

Sorry I can't be more help right now.

Here's a pattern for fabric, but could be adapted to leather without too much hassle.

Here are some I made using his patterns and one of my modification of his patterns.

Thanks to all who provided patterns for baby booties. We are expecting our first grandson by the end of the month and these will make a great present for the parents as well as a wonderful keepsake. This site and its people are fantastic.

I own this book: http://www.etsy.com/listing/97884850/pdf-version-how-to-handmake-simple-shoes?ref=sr_gallery_2&ga_search_query=simple+shoemaking&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all

It has loads of patterns for all sizes newborn through older child. I also purchased her women's shoes book. They are easy to make if you use the "turned out" method.
