Walk (or crawl) a Mile in Your Moccasins

When a couple in our church were about to welcome a new baby to their family, I decided to pull out the leather. Perfect time to try some baby moccasins! I used the Darling Diapers free mini moc pattern, and adjusted it to make a fringed moccasin (with no linings). I used some black leather cord instead of elastic. Hopefully these will fit the little guy they're intended for when he gets bigger -- I can't remember which size I cut out, but they came out a tad larger than expected. They're completely hand-stitched, because I find that to be a much more reliable way of construction. My machine doesn't always like leather...

And now you need a gratuitous photo of Scout's little tootsies. Oh, how I love sweet, sweet baby toes! Granted, Scout's toes are on a slightly larger scale than the average baby, but they're still delightful and squidgy. 

Would you believe that I still haven't made Scout a single pair of leather shoes since his birth? That's something I hope to remedy soon, but... you know how it goes.
