Felt Baby Booties

Little feet are just the cutest things ever, keep those teeny tootsies toasty with some DIY felt baby booties. These hand sewn baby booties are super simple to make with the free pattern below. It’s easy to hand make booties to fit any theme, holiday or event.

The template for these felt booties are sized to fit work three months and under. To keep them loose they rely on slipping the foot in so they may not be as secure as elastic versions and but definitely more comfy. They go together fairly quickly making them a fun interactive activity for baby showers.

DIY felt booties only require one sheet of felt unless you’re sewing on small details like pumpkins or acorns shown here and on the felt baby booties pattern

You will need:

To make a set of DIY baby shoes;

1 sheet felt color or print of your choice, I used Fall Forage, Tree Bark, and Granny Smith

Detail colors, I used Chocolate, Pastry and Sweet Potato

Matching threads

Cut:

4 sole pieces, 2 toe pieces and 2 side pieces from felt. (2 pieces for Acorns and 2 Pumpkins if your are adding details)

Sew 2 soles together with a running stitch and matching thread.

Place one toe piece under the sole and stitch down with an over cast stitch starting in the center. Starting in the center will help to keep the pieces even and lined up.

Sew toe to the rounded edge at the top of the sole with an overcast stitch. Once you reach the edge go back and secure the other side the same way.

Your baby bootie should look like this.

Attach the side with the flat side to the heel. Start sewing with and over cast stitch and matching thread. Sew down the side starting at the back center part of the heel going to one side as you did with the toe box, this will help insure your piece is even.

Tuck the loose side into the toe box.

Stitch the toe box to the side with three or four diagonal stitches.

Place bumpkin end down and stitch pumpkin into place over it with a running stitch and matching thread. For the acorn baby shoe stitch the acorn top down with the acorn nut behind it.
