Plain Jane Shoes for 8 inch BJD Dolls such as Ten Ping and Mini Sara

1 review   |  

If you ever wanted to try your hand at making shoes for your doll, this is the pattern for you! Minimal sewing, a little bit of glue, really cute shoes! It's also a great way to use up scraps from your stash. It only takes a little bit of fabric to make an awesome pair of shoes. And NO hot glue! You can make shoes to match every outfit! Your doll is going to need a bigger closet!

Please note that you need a doll (or a shoe last) for this pattern, as the shoes are cobbled around the doll’s foot.
