For My Friend...

I have a friend who lives back in my hometown.  

Since I got married and moved, we've kept up via snail mail... which has been a lot of fun!  

She has a couple of kids and has so graciously given me 

hand-me-downs for Eloise over the past year.... 

so to show her my appreciation, 

I made her daughter a pair of soft-sole shoes.

 

I think they turned out really cute... and she loves them!

They are a Toddler size 8, which is the biggest size I've sewn.

Oddly enough, it was a little more challenging 

than sewing the smaller ones!

I am hoping they hold up well, 

considering the fact that older kids 

are a little more rambunctious and wear things 

out more quickly!

We'll see!

I hope you'll stop by tomorrow... 

I have a really special post to share!
