Retro Sneakers

Cuteness overload! These were fun to make and turned out really nice. A little more detail than some patterns so they take a little more time, but the instructions are well written and easy to follow. While the pattern doesn’t mention it, I found these worked perfectly with my Pixie Packs for the chipboard and foam soles.

Retro Sneakers

I love these little sneakers. The instructions were very easy to understand. There is a lot of pieces to the pattern, but the finished product makes it all worth while.

Bowling shoes

This was a pretty easy pattern probably my second favorite sewing shoe pattern so far. The hardest part was the back band. I got my finger caught between the pressure foot screw and the machine trying to see where I was seeing. Then finding the aglets for the laces.

Sneakers

I am a regular sewist but really struggled with the fiddliness of these. The instructions were fine but i needed more pairs of hands. I’ve done 4 pairs now but still struggling x
