Making tiny shoes for 10″ Boneka dolls…

My weekend was busy again (as usual), but I spent some time Saturday drafting another shoe pattern for Noel. Sure I could have gotten her dress listed on Ebay and she could have worn the white or pink shoes I already had… and maybe I should have… but I decided making a new pattern and seeing what I could come up with might be more fun…

I made the pattern on Saturday, but only got a prototype shoe made in a soft green leather…

I just made the one green shoe, and when I saw that it fit Noel’s foot, pretty well, I decided to take it apart and use it to revise my paper pattern just slightly…

Using some of my white leather, this is what I came up with… Sunday afternoon and evening!

I added 2 little flowers cut from leather too…

This white leather is slightly stiffer than the green was, so they are a little wider looking on her foot, but they still slide on well with her stockings…

We had our neighbor over to watch the football playoffs game, and he was kind of impressed that I made something so small, while he was there. (I had just started on them when he came over) I was working on them while they were in the living room, and I could see the TV if I looked out my doorway. Then when the game got close to the end, I joined them. (GO CHIEFS!) :o)

After he went home, and I had coated the inside of Noel’s shoes with a stiffner… I turned my attention to Ten Ping’s bunny dress and jacket set…

I finished the pantalettes and got the skirt sewn to the bodice…

The wool felt jacket was next… For starters, I just stitched the edges in white… and will figure out what do add to it… I’m going to make a bunny purse, so it won’t be anything busy… maybe just buttons down the front…
