Thank you for purchasing the Open Toe Knotted Baby Bootie pattern from

Winterpeach!

Before getting started you will need:

Two complimentary cotton prints. Two fat quarters would make about 2 pair.
Fusible interface
1/4 inch elastic

Cutting Instructions:

Upper: cut four

(two outside pieces and
two inside pieces)

Upper Lining: cut 2

from fusible interface

Right Sole: cut two

(be sure to cut
one inverse)

Left Sole: cut two

(be sure to cut
one inverse)

Sole Lining: cut 2

from fusible interface

Knot: cut 8

Elastic: cut 2 one inch strips

TIPS!
For a nice fit, I like to place my fabrics right sides together, then
place my pattern pieces over both layers of fabric and cut. I get my
inverse pieces, and I also get exact matches when I begin sewing.

Before beginning, mark the heel marks (from pattern) onto your sole pieces.

Mark this on your fabric

Also iron your

lining pieces
to the inside
fabric pieces
as shown.
To begin sewing:

1. Place two knot pieces right sides together and sew them together using 1/4 inch
seam allowance. Repeat for remaining knot pieces. Turn and press.

You should have the following pieces.

Left and right

sole pieces
Two upper Four finished
pieces knot pieces

Two upper
pieces

fusible sole with fusible
interface interface

2. Start with your two upper fabric pieces (without the fusible interface). Place a
matching upper piece with the fusible interface right sides together over each.
3. Using 1/4 inch seam allowance, sew along the inside edge and also along
the upper indent as shown.

4. Turn and press. It will seem tricky to turn these, but they end up popping
right side out fairly easy. Pressing is a must.
5. Match heel seam (right sides together) and sew along the heel using 1/4 inch
seam allowance. Turn and press well.

6. Pin a knot on one side of one shoe as shown. Pin another knot on the other
side. Sew the knots in place using 1/8 inch seam allowance.

Flip the shoe over and

follow the curve of the
“upper” piece. You
will end up trimming
the excess knot piece.
7. Trim the excess knot fabric.

8. Fold the knot in and pin it up. This is so the knot pieces will not get sewn into
the sole as you complete the next few steps.

This will
wrinkle the
knots. You
will press
them later.
9. Place a fabric sole piece WITH the fusible interface under a shoe with the
right side of the fabric facing up. Match the heel with the heel marks indicated
on the pattern and pin the sole to the upper piece.

You will end

up sewing
from the
edge of
the knot to
the edge
of the knot.
Use 1/8
inch seam
allowance.

10. Using 1/8 inch seam allowance, sew the sole to the upper by sewing around
the entire upper.
 You now have something beginning to look like a shoe.

11. Place the outer sole pieces flat with the right side of the fabric facing down.

Left Sole Right Sole

12. Place the matching shoe on top of the outer fabric sole piece. Now pull the
outer fabric sole piece to the top of the shoe.

sole from
Right Sole under the
Left Shoe Left Sole

to on top of
the shoe. Do
not flip the
fabric. Keep
it right side
facing down.
13. Pin the outer sole piece on. Use the heel marks again to match the heel seam.

You are basically making a big shoe sandwich.

14. Sew the outer sole piece on by sewing 3/4 the way round the shoe using 1/4 inch
seam allowance. This will hide the seam allowance you used while sewing the inner
sole piece on and also the seam left after sewing the knots on.

15. Flip the shoe right side out. You will have a small opening that needs to be hand
sewn closed. I like to use the drawing stitch so I don’t see any thread.
The drawing stitch invisibly joins two layers of fabric with folded edges from the right
side. Take a short stitch through one folded edge, then in the other folded edge.

16. Press the knots out and also press the edges of the shoe.

17. Cut a 1 inch strip of 1/4 inch wide elastic. Measure one inch over from the heel on
each side of the heel seam.
18. Sew an elastic to each heel. Make sure you stretch the elastic well. The one
inch piece of elastic needs to stretch the entire two inches you have measured.

Tie the knots up to tighten the shoe on the baby’s foot and enjoy!
