Baby booties at last


Well, here they are, our first pair of baby slippers !
All handmade, starting with the felt. The felt was made using only alpaca fibers.
These are sure to keep those "adorable little baby feet" warm ;)
And well yes as mentioned the inner lining is a "recycled" baby blanky, made of soft brushed cotton.

Oh so CUTE :)

Fully inspired, by BABIES !!!

These are just the first of many... Stay tuned for more ...

Baby Slippers



These are our first try... Now we need to add a second felted sole, and an inside.
Ummm...
Either thought of using organic cotton materials, or why not use something that we already have !!! So yes, the beginnings of our "upcycling" ...

BABY BLANKETS

I have tons of those, cotton, cute baby blankies.

Perfect.

May the project continue...

Started off alone...


I started off learning to felt ...alone.

Through online videos and a Saturday afternoon course.

Suddenly , as I finished my 1st project , and it actually made something useful and pretty, my husband decided to try it out too. Then the competition began!

Now it has become a cooperation of ideas and workload. What a great team !

Here's our latest …

Baby booties made entirely by hand. Using handmade alpaca felt.

Totally natural for little baby feet...
