And so while I think they are absolutely darling&#8230;they are useless to me.  Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t know anyone right now who is expecting a baby girl or I&#8217;d be making some of the cutest little shoes for them.<\/p>\n<p>I was, however, thinking about my sisters and their baby boys and how tiny their little feet are and I found a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poopockets.com\/free\/footies\/footies.htm\">SUPER EASY pattern for cloth or felt booties<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Last week, I had been cooped up in the house for most of a week and on Saturday afternoon &#8211; I ESCAPED!  I went to the fabric store and bought a bunch of coordinating fabric that I am using to make some crib sheets, some change table covers, a set of bumper pads, and a crib quilt.  After I&#8217;m done all of that, I have a few other projects that I&#8217;m considering (time allowing).<\/p>\n<p>The fabric store closed and I wasn&#8217;t quite ready to head home yet, so I ran into Michaels.  I didn&#8217;t really have anything in mind that I wanted to get, BUT&#8230;..I thought I&#8217;d just look around.<\/p>\n<p>I found a package of felt in brown camo, blue camo and pink camo and I wondered if I could make some booties from them.  After wasting a bit more time, I came home, printed out the pattern and started in on the project.  It didn&#8217;t take very long and these cute little boy booties were finished.  It says that they are a size 0-3 months and while I can&#8217;t imagine that they&#8217;d fit either of my nephews (just yet) &#8211; I do think that they&#8217;d fit in another few weeks.  They aren&#8217;t huge, but they are a little bigger than tiny newborn size.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/xangelle\/4500018421\/\" title=\"Boys Felt Booties by Xangelle, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4003\/4500018421_939984e3ff.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Boys Felt Booties\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I whipped up (<em>hand sewed<\/em>) the first one of this pair yesterday on the way home from work and finished the second one after the boys went to bed.
