Ages ago I bought some funky bibs from the lovely curly pops for my little niece to be. I just adored the fabric and miss curly pops was nice enough to give me some bits and pieces to make all the matching booties.

I blogged about the finished result of the ones I made for Finn a while back and I had hoped that this time round I may have overcome my need for speed and lack of pattern reading to have perfected them.....Well I can dream, can't I .

To the naked eye, they are cute to boot. But to the dressmaker in you all they are a wee bit crooked. GOSH!!!! I can hear my sister laughing all the way from Queensland. OK, o.k, complete truth....they are a lot bit crooked.

But they will stay on, they are cute, and baby to be will love the fact her auntie handmade them.

If you want to have a go at making a peter perfect version, the pattern is available here at jolibebe.

I have one more pair to make for my sister in law, so heres hopin it's third time a treat.
