Making ballet flat style shoes for BJDs

Hi everybody! Today I'm taking a moment to show you how to make some cute and simple ballet flat style shoes for your dolls. These are nice because they're lined and have both an inner and outer sole, so they look great when they're finished! It also doesn't take long to make them, which is nice.

I created this pattern for my nYID girl because I've had a hard time finding shoes that fit her. Obviously, the answer is always make your own, because then it's a perfect fit! These also fit my Feeple65 Chloe. They both have a 7cm foot, but the nYID is a bit wider than the Feeple65 foot, so a shoe made for F65 wouldn't fit an nYID! It's always better to make your shoes slightly larger. Dolls a shade smaller can share big shoes, but little shoes often won't stretch!

The pattern instructions allow for a seam allowance of one quarter inch. You can download a printable PDF copy of the pattern by visiting this page on my website: http://ithilear.com/sewing-patterns-f...

Happy sewing, and don't forget to show me what you make!
