As promised I’m going Plush baby bootiesto show you how to make plush baby booties like these, and the ones in an earlier blog post Here’s one I made earlier.” I used fleece but you can use any fabric or trim. These are small enough that it wouldn’t take long to sew them by hand if you don’t have a machine.

      They’re so simple to make Terresa. I’m going to try making larger sizes and put non-slip soles on them!

  2. I am going to have to try this. I have a 2 year old and 8 month old so plenty of baby clothes to upcycle!
