Baby Booties

Here’s a little something I made for my son - yes, my son. Hey, they’re blue, orange and brown. I think boys can have bold colors too! This is from Anna Marie Horner’s Handmade Beginnings book.

I usually do a little review, but honestly the most difficult part of them was to sew the buttons on by hand ~source~ What have you been up to? Don’t forget, we’re {Read More}
