hi nicole--
i think it was 'syrendell'....it looked like something she took part in at a training or something of the sort....the photos are wonderful, but i can't follow
augh! fall is right around the corner and baby's feet need some soft shoes

Have you checked your local library for books on felting? I saw one at ours yesterday with instructions on how to make these.

This is a wonderful tutorial, I used it last Christmas for my children. HOWEVER, it requires you to make a mold of your child's feet by putting a sock on and wrapping them in duct tape. I was able to convince my then 2yo to do it b/c he watched his older brother and sister first, but I don't know if a 1yo will cooperate.

I've seen a tute online using a rain boot as a resist.

Here's another tute, but there are no pics

ETA~ do you knit or crochet? There's a lot of knit and crochet patterns for felted slippers.
