These shoes have leather soles, microsuede outers and are lined with sherpa, everywhere but the soles (I may serge and hand sew in a peice of sherpa down there later to cover up the seams). I used the soles from the pattern above, modified the front piece and completly made up the back one. They both close with some touchtape (velcro) in the back. The first shoe I made sort of pulled of easy without socks on, so I put some elasic in the lining of the second one and that seemed to fix it.
As for the materials: I bought 2 bags of leather in Hobby Lobby in Louisiana, so I used one of those peices. The sherpa I got at a garage sale, so I don't know too much about it, exept I can tell it's not polyester. The mircosuede is actaully leftover fabric from our awesome rocking chair cover (thanks again mom!), and that was from the clearence flats in Joannes.
Conclusion: Love them! I wouldn't mind making these to sell or for gifts.

I made some clothes for the doll I was putting in our shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. The clothes I bought at the dollar store was too big. It just started with a dress, then I was going to make a matching diaper cover, but I made it too small, so I made a diaper instead... Then I made a coat, and of course, she needed a matching hat. I stopped there before I went really crazy with it, but socks would have been pretty cute too. The doll was a nice find. That's the kind of simple doll I really like; only $3 at target, too. This is only the second time I've sewn doll clothes, but it is definitely satisfying.
