I found this old pattern...
I don't think it's available any more - I googled it and found a couple of old listings on Ebay - but nothing current. It has sizes from toddler to adult - it's fairly well written and simple for an intermediate level sewer...
I chose the Mary Janes and I used only stuff that I already had - leftover pleather from Scout's chaps and the bottom parts of his cutoff trousers for the lining and the inner sole - and the green foam is from a box of fruit we got for Christmas - thanks K&D...
I should mention that a set of needle-nosed pliers are a great tool for turning a thin strap inside out...
The outer sole is an old vinyl placemat that we had under the sink...
The finished shoes - Oh yes - I'll definitely wear them...
...from the top...
