I saw this Japanese craft book For Sweet Baby on Angry Chicken and just had to buy it. Never mind that I’m not really a sewer and don’t read Japanese. I bought it anyways.

This was my attempt to make some shoes for Isabelle, I should say my pathetic, sorry, sad attempt. I thought I could figure the pictures out. Wrong. I’m not good with thinking inside out. And with sewing you’re sewing on the inside. But these shoes have insides so that threw me for a loop. Everything worked out except for the inside. You can see the padding.

Anyone read Japanese? Cousin Cynthia do you read Japanese?
