trikegeoff Report post Posted October 15, 2010 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. geoff.

Leatherimages Report post Posted October 15, 2010 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ferg Report post Posted October 15, 2010 leatherimage thank you for your reply id love to see a pic of the booties you have made and the pattern if you happen to find it. 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. ferg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Leatherimages Report post Posted August 19, 2011 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica B Report post Posted April 24, 2013 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
