Customer Reviews
I bought this pattern for a scrap buster and I just love how adorable they are. A quick sew with very detailed directions. I’ve only made the smallest size for now.
First time sewing a T&T pattern, and it couldn't have been easier. Fabulous instructions and photos to make it easy for a novice sewer. The wayfarer shoes are super cute.
Before making these I couldn't see how the fabric magically turned and folded into lined slippers, but thanks to the excellent instructions and videos it worked!
Good to have all the sizes - pics are of some I made for my baby, toddler, mother and grandmother.
These shoes were so lovely to sew - I started with the newborn size using a supersoft chambray dress that my daughter had years ago. Since then I've made a couple of bigger sizes. Even for a novice sewist like me, it's possible to get a good finish and they make such lovely presents. I intend making more - I have a soft jumper of my daughter's that I "accidentally" shrunk in the wash that will be just perfect.
Thanks again for such a lovely pattern. I upcycled an old woolen blanket and a sweater that got washed too hot accidentally. The soles are made of scraps of leather and thickenend by a layer of felt from another crafting project of mine. Love, Jitka
The fit is so good and I made mine in brocade. Looks so elegant . It’s perfect to wear inside the house . Love it . Will definitely make more .
Great little easy pattern. Comes in multiple sizes.

I’ve made two so far and have not only enjoyed sewing them but the end results were darling! I appreciate the wonderful instructions which are clear and easy to follow.
These are so sweet. They come together quickly and easily and are the perfect scrap buster. The instructions are fantastic - I especially love the chart to get a perfect fit.
