I go a little crazy for Jane Austen, so imagine how happy I was when our library decided to have a Jane Austin Tea Party. I was in the middle of making Halloween costumes and I knew I just had to put them aside and make a dress fitting the Regency era.
Thanks to my friend Foxy Roxy she completed the look by making my very short faux hawk look like a pile of Jane Austen hair. It was a fun day. But my obsession was far from over. I made the dress and still had costumes to finish when I found these....
the most adorable shoe patterns. I stayed up day and night making tiny shoes.
I was like a little elf. I couldn't get enough. I don't even have any tiny feet to put in them but that didn't stop me.
I used scraps of material that I had around the house.
These little kimono shoes are reversible.
To die for, right?
I did find an adorable little girl to put all these shoes on and I was glad. I also made several boys shoes and forgot to take pictures which makes me sad because they turned out even cuter if you can believe it. I auctioned those off for the cub scouts and it was really fun.
