BOOTIES
Secure the beginning and end of your seams with a backstitch.
1. Sew rickrack onto the top edge of the booties. Have a ½” of rickrack stick out on either side. 2. Fold the rickrack towards the inside and hold in place.
3. Cut a piece of ribbon 5”. Burn or fray check the ends. 4. OPTIONAL: Fold the ribbon in half and align the folded side on the inside of the bootie. Overlap ¼”.
5. With wrong sides facing fold the bootie in half. Sew closed with a zigzag stitch (Stitch Length 2.5 and width 4). Sew on the edge of the felt making sure that you catch both layers. Tie the ribbons to complete your booties! ©Doll Tag Clothing – 12” Lalaloopsy Footsies 3 SLIPPERS
1. Finish off the top edge of the slippers with a serger or zigzag stitch. 2. Hem the slippers: Fold the top edge over ¼” and sew.
3. Cut 2 pieces of elastic – length of 1 ¾” each. 4. Place the elastic next to the hem line on the wrong side of the bootie. There is ¼” of elastic to stick over the edges at the beginning and end of the seam. This is to hold onto when sewing. 5. Sew the elastic down the centre with a small zig zag stitch (St Length 2 and stitch width 2). Pull the elastic so that it lies flat while you sew. Note: It takes quite some pull as the elastic is really short compared to the fabric.
6. With right sides together fold the bootie in half and sew ¼” seam from the hemline to the fold. 7. Cut the seam in half and sew a zig zag stitch on the edge. (St Length 2.5 and stitch width 2.5). Turn slippers inside out to complete!
