Little Red Riding Boots {Free PDF Pattern}

 The free pattern today is a sweet little pair of boots. Because every baby needs some boots. This style is simple and clean and could easily work for a baby boy or girl.I just love boots on babies especially young babies because they stay on better when there is something wrapped around the ankle.
They are soft and comfy with a strap and snap closure.
The button is just for looks but you know I love a button :)
You can download the pattern HERE
It includes 0-3m 3-6m and 6-12m

Cut out your pieces. You will need 4 soles (2 reversed so you have a right and left foot) I used pleather for the outside sole since I think it holds up a little better. Then 4 toe pieces two outer and two lining, 4 Heel pieces two outer two lining, and 4 straps 2 for each shoe.
Start with the straps. Sew two right side together along the sides and curve. Then turn right side out and top stitch. Repeat with both straps.
Next for the toe pieces. Sew one lining and one outer piece right sides together along the grey dotted line. Clip the corners and the curve.
Turn it right side out and top stitch. Repeat with both toe pieces so you have two.
Next for the heels place the strap down near the top of the curved edge and have the raw sides together. Then place the lining right sides together, sew along the sides and top.
Clip the corners and curve then turn the heel right side out. You want two heel pieces like this but you want them to be reversed so the straps are opposite each other.
Then pin the heel in place to the soles (which should be wrong sides together) Sew the heel in place.
Then add the toe piece to the front. Sew in place. Clip all the curves on the sole.
Then turn the boot right side out and add a snap to the strap and side of the boot. Sew on a button for decoration and you are good to go.
Now you have some adorable little boots to keep those little toes warm.
