Shoe Measurements

If you have ever wanted to design your own shoe/bootie pattern, or alter a pattern that you already have, you will need some measurements. I have included two size charts, one for babies and children, and the other for women. If you are using this chart to make my Toe Flower Sandals, be sure to subtract a little bit for the length since the sandal doesn't go clear to the top of your toe.

TUTORIAL: Doll Diaper plus Pattern!

This weekend I made diapers for my little girl's doll. I probably made more than she needs, but it was so much fun to watch her face light up as I got each one of them finished! I designed the pattern to fit her Bitty Baby Doll . But, I also realize that some of you may have a different size doll.... So, I made the waistband adjustable. It may not fit all of your dolls and stuffed animals, but this will make it more likely to. I wanted it to be a nice and tight fit so that we could fit the doll's pants over the diaper, and it worked out well! Today I am excited to share the tutorial with you. Here is what you will need: 1/4 yard or a fat quarter of cotton fabric. Coordinating thread 1/2" sew in Velcro. I have tried the stick on kind, and didn't like it. It eventually comes off.
