but they run $21US per pair
so i ordered a pair of size 6mo
and i'm going to reverse engineer them
to make a pattern
the booties are in!
they are three pieces
- the sole
- the heel + elastic & snap ankle wrap
- the toe cover & tongue
i haven't found a free pattern
to match the zutano pattern
i made my own pattern last night
and i cut the pieces out of fleece
i noticed that the Zutano bootie
is double lined all the way through
but i started stitching before i realized this
i'll have to make the heel/ankle wrap snap piece
double lined to enclose the elastic, though
so far i have all pieces cut out for two booties
i have baseball stitched the top to the sole of one
i have started to baseball stitch the two layers together
of the heel pieces as well
the structural integrity of the single layer fleece is questionable
so maybe i'll add another layer to the sole
i also noticed a significant difference in sole pattern shape
on the Zutano booties
i also noticed that my fleece was very different in texture
from the Zutano fleece
the shape so far is different from the Zutano
and the fabric is significantly different
i'm in a holding pattern on this project
update:
i will not complete this project
