Pick Your Material

• Homemade baby shoes can be made from a variety of materials. You can use second-hand fabric from your own home, like that from a felt sweatshirt, a thick blanket, or an old leather purse, or you can pick up a sheet of new fabric in any material or print from your local fabric supply store. The choice is yours, depending on budget and desire.
  
  

Find a Template

• Some light searching online will yield several templates that you can use to make your homemade baby booties. Depending on your baby's age and foot size, you might need to do a little looking or asking around to find the right size for your little one's tootsies.
  
  

Gather Your Equipment

• For this project, you'll need a sewing machine, some thread, the above-mentioned template, your fabric, and possibly some elastic, depending on the template you choose. Before hitting the fabric store for supplies, read your chosen template carefully to make sure it doesn't call for other equipment.
  
  

Express Your Creativity

• Lastly, you can add tiny bows, ribbons, or rhinestones to your homemade baby shoes to show off your crafty side and encourage even more admiring glances from passersby. You can stick with one all-purpose pair of homemade baby shoes, or go all out with a pair to match each of your little darling's tiny outfits.
