tutorial zapatitos de elfo

I have wanted to make Allsorts' elf shoes for over a year. I never gave myself a chance, but I decided they would be good for this project. I would make one for me and one to give away. To get the pattern, go here and then print it out at 1/4 the original size to get a size that will work for the advent tree scale. This pattern is one hundred percent hers, and I am not taking any credit for it; she is an amazing blogger and I love her stuff. If you go to her site, please thank her for this pattern because it is so sweet.

Supplies for the version I made:

• wool felt (I used Pendelton wool that I felted; you can use whatever you want)
• pearl cotton
• sewing thread
  
• needle for both embroidery thread and sewing thread
• scissors
• seed beads

Order of events:

1. Get allsorts pattern and reduce it to 1/4 size.
2. Cut out pieces.
3. Embellish with beads.
4. Embroider around edges with blanket stitch and assemble.
5. Add hanger; done.

If you make this pattern, you can add it to allsorts elf shoe group on flickr, and you can also add it to my advent calendar group on flickr, too
