I love it, Thanks. They are very pretty.
Thank you!!!!!
great pattern ! thanks
Loves these shoes! Trying to find shoe pattern to take to Kenya to teach african kids to make. It is an orphanage and they need something to make to sell to make money. Looking to do something like this. They have sheep everywhere and no one uses the sheep's wool!
What a lovely quick project! Many thanks.
