I found this great little pattern..well actually I've had it for a while. I just realized upon finding it again, that I'd reallly like to try this. I am so glad I did. I really love these little espadrille house shoes. There are so many variations you can do. I made three pair today. Each time I tried something a little different. The first pair was totally by the book. Not my favorite way I must say. So I tweaked it a bit and found I made them more comfortable to wear, and much quicker and easier. The pattern called for stiff interfacing and cotton fabric. While it was cute, these were the changes I made. I kept the stiff interfacing for the sole, but also added a layer of quilting cotton, sandwiched between chenille on the top, and an upholstery fabric for the bottom of the sole. I also used quilting cotton for the top upper part, but for the heel I used the stiffer interfacing. So Cute..So Shabby Chic. I love those little roses on this fabric. I am going to continue to make these. I think these will make great Christmas gifts for nieces. Send a comment if you might like to try this one.
