Preparatory stage

Before you make a shoe pattern for babies up to a year with your own hands, you will need to perform several basic tasks:

• take sizes;
• prepare supplies;
• draw the three components of future booties.

Measure the leg

The creation of any pattern is based on the basic dimensions and parameters of the future owner. To sew booties, you need to remove the following sizes from the baby’s legs:

1. Foot length.
2. Outsole Width
3. Lifting the legs.
4. Length from fingers to ankle.
5. The distance from the heel to the ankle.
6. The gap between the bones.

Having the basic dimensions of your child’s legs, you can begin to make patterns.

What will be needed to create a pattern?

To make a pattern according to previously taken sizes, you will need the following stationery:

• pencil or pen;
• thick paper or cardboard;
• ruler.

Important! The pattern of booties for your baby will consist of three elements - the sole, back and upper parts.

We develop patterns patterns

Pattern is the basis of almost any product, so the appearance of the shoes you make for your beloved baby depends on its implementation.

Sole

The sole of children's shoes can be made in one of two ways:

1. Circle the baby’s leg, and add two centimeters to the resulting circle - the so-called stock for the seam.
2. Using a ruler and a pencil, apply the dimensions of the legs to the sheet, adding a few centimeters on each side for the future seam, gently round the corners.

Top part

To make the upper part of the shoe, do the following:

1. On a sheet of thick paper, apply the dimensions of the leg lift in a straight line, adding 2 cm on each side in advance.
2. In the middle of the segment, perpendicularly apply the length from the fingers to the ankle, with a margin on the seam.
3. Connect the lines from the sides to the top.

Important! As a result, you should get a pattern whose shape resembles a semicircle.

Rear end

To make a back pattern, follow the following algorithm:

1. On the sheet, draw a vertical strip - the height of the backdrop that you want to get.
2. Top and bottom add 2 cm per seam.
3. In the upper part of the pattern perpendicular to the received line, draw a straight line corresponding to the dimensions obtained from the ankle to the ankle.
4. Make a seam allowance.
5. From below, also draw a straight line, but 3 cm more on each side.
6. Round off the bottom edge a little.

Important! As a template for the back, you should get a kind of trapezoid.

Choose material

To make beautiful and comfortable children's shoes, you will need to choose 2-3 varieties of fabric:

1. For the sole, it is necessary to give preference to dense textile materials or leather.
2. Soft and pleasant to the touch fabric can be used to make the inside, which will constantly come into contact with the baby’s leg.
3. The third type of material is needed for the outside. Depending on your personal preferences, you can sew booties from jeans with your own hands. The material of the outer part decorated with print looks especially impressive, moreover, you can choose a pattern for both the girl and the boy.

Connect the details:

Important! Please note that the details of the sole must be stitched with the front sides out.

• Having finished work with the sole, take the upper parts and sew them together with the front sides inward.
• On a sewing machine, you need to sew a straight line, turn the resulting product with the front sides out and iron it with an iron.
• Carry out a similar procedure with the backs, only it will be necessary to iron, revealing the details from the inside. On the sides it is necessary to smooth a little the allowances left on the seam.
• Then fold the resulting products face out, place the elastic inside and sew in such a way that it can move freely.

We sew booties

Now we proceed directly to the manufacture of booties:

1. Take the sole and the upper part, fold them with their faces inward and start scribbling from the center to the edge, then back to the center, then to the other edge.
2. Sew the backdrop in the same way.
3. The booties are almost ready. When you finish the second, turn both seams inward, pull the gum a little bit and sew on the slipper to the inside.

Important! When your booties are ready they can already be decorated. If you want to make it beads, then instead of the usual thread use a thin fishing line. Keep in mind that your baby will move its legs and the thread may break, which will not only ruin your work, but will also pose a risk for the baby to swallow several beads.

DIY leather booties

If you are going to sew booties from leather for the baby with your own hands, then you can use the instructions that were presented above, but also take into account the following recommendations:

• Get special needles for hand sewing and machines.
• You should not use chalk - it is better to do all the markings with a two-color pencil.
• Also, to work with leather, you will need a roller foot, because the skin does not glide well under the usual components of the sewing machine.

Important! Of course, you can try to compete on your own with a poorly sliding fabric, just pulling it or putting a newspaper. However, it will be hard to do, given that you have to sew baby booties.

• Also, under the skin you need to choose the right thread so that over time your product does not deteriorate. It is best to use cotton or linen products, if you want the thread to shine, take a silk spool.
• You can sew a fur edge to children's booties in the form of a decor or buy small stripes in the store and gently stick them on the outer surface.
