Pom Pom Baby Slippers
Baby slippers I made from a pattern in this Japanese ZAKKA craft book.
Really fun to make, but time intensive. These took awhile with lots of tiny invisible stitches. Instead of straps I added pom-poms; just cut-off ball-fringe from a vintage chenille bedspread; soles are coarse-weave cloth, padded with fleece and lined with red-plaid flannel.
I think I'll enjoy them awhile here on my shelf.
that seals it. I am so buying this book. those are just too adorable. why is it that the smaller things are the more work they are? well, sometimes anyway!!

Absolutely beautiful, little works of art.

I agree with you completely, I love the end result when making these shoes, but they are deceptively time consuming.
Worth it though- yours are gorgeous. I love your choice of fabrics and the pom-pom touch is brilliant
