Free pattern: Fringed baby moccasins

Abby from Simply Small Wonders shares a free pattern for making a pair of fringed moccasins for a baby.  These would make the cutest gift for a baby!  They’re made from leather (or faux leather), with fringe across the toes and around the ankles.  The pieces are all small, so you can probably get the leather you need from a repurposed jacket or other leather item.  Or, you can buy scraps at the craft or leather store.  Her free pattern will fit babies 6-12 months.

  1. Your link above to the website for moccasins is a scam. It’s not a real website and directs you somewhere else that doesn’t have any thing to do with moccasin plans.

Velvet is such a luscious fabric, especially for winter sewing projects.  Of course there are velvet Christmas sewing projects – stockings, tree skirts, santa hats – but velvet is beautiful for all winter.  Think of all the gorgeous velvet dresses, evening bags, hair accessories, even pillows and other home décor that you see all winter long.
