Congratulations to a friend of mine and his wife on the birth of their daughter this fall. I wanted to do something special since Jayme has been so supportive of me and my quest with this little hobby of mine…
Top view. Each shoe is hand stitched and alledges finished with leather edge paint. In the center of the little hand-cut flowers I used a peridot (green) colored stone rivet.These Mary Jane styled shoes have tie closures and are lined with a cotton blend polka dot fabric.For add a more finished look, I top stitched along either side of the back stitches. Each of the little tags has a hand stitched “S” for Spadoni. The yellow ends on the ribbon are leather edge paint to prevent the ribbon from fraying. Now if I can only find the right box.
Thank you again, Tim for helping me with my site/blog.
I made these for a family member’s new daughter. All but the thread and rivets are recycled materials.
I used hook & loop tape on the straps. The shoes are fully lined with scraps from a dress shirt; I hand-cut and edge painted the flowers for a little more color.
This was a tuxedo of sorts for a family member performing in a certain school play…
Lime green faux fur & striped calf length pants made from an off the shelf pattern.Split tails on this tuxedo and matching flowers instead of buttons.Black and lime green felt shoe covers. I stuffed the curled toes and added more matching flowers. Fun stuff!
After seeing the kids fall in love with real leopard geckos, I designed these for the kids one Christmas.This little guy was an original pattern, made of fleece with hand sewn eyes and nostrils for a friend’s son.
This little fellow was for a monkey loving family member who enjoys hot dogs. (Off the shelf pattern)
Lime green fleece and safety eyes were used on this original design for a friend’s son.Socks from a discount store and beads for the face. Kind of goofy, but had to try!
I had orange fur everywhere when I designed these guys. Their arms and fingers move (wire inserts) and feet weighed down with beanbag pellets. The kids LOVED them!
Brown garment leather shoes with calico print interior and red satin “laces.”Fleece lined plaid cotton blend uppers with black satin “laces”Fleece lined cotton Mary Janes with daisy button accents.Cotton lined pink felt bunnies.
