Grown-up booties-Made these for ME, my feet are frozen!This is Avery's booties pattern,enlarged 138% on the copy machine, using the long copy paper.I also made the boot come up higher on the leg,to try to stay warm.Marked for emb,then decided not to do,in case pattern didn't fit.Wished now I would have emb something,such a wasted slate-LOL
109777wow I would love a pair of them MY feet and legs are cold to the bone when I go to bed at night and it takes so long to get warm. you did great with that. think I will try it .

119791Maybe you could undo a side seam, do some embroidery and stitch it back up. Wishing you warmer weather. It is cold here is FL too but not as bad as last week. hugs, Susan
25510Here are the links again, for the CHILDRENS booties.One link is the pattern size up to 5 yrs(these fit Avery and she is 8 yrs)and if you click on another spot,they have newborn-18 months.Click on the title BABY BASIC BOOTIE.The other link is the instructions.I advise you to print them out,so you can refer to,without going back to site.Look in sewing too,I may add some photos in that post about the sole.

Thanks for the links. After seeing your booties, & my sewing room being too cold to work in right now, I got the idea to simply wear the inserts out of my mud boots. They work to keep my feet warmer, but the booties with some non-skid on the bottom will be better. I just have to get my sewing room warmer before I can make them. My fingers get so cold that I can't sew. Spring will be here, though, before we know it.
109777My feet are freezing too , what pattern is this is it something free to download I hope ....? We have 8" of snow and are not going anywhere today...love t he idea of the batting and insulbright..you are verry smart! Stay well everyone.

The childs pattern is FREE to dl,. I took the childs size 5 and enlg at 138% on a copy machine, with the long, legal, copy paper.I then added 51/4 inches at the fold, of the front and back pieces,so it would come up higher on the leg.I will TRY to add the link here, so scroll around this post, as it won't let me add on this comment...The batting and insul-brite must be the answer, because I wore them last night and this morning too,and my feet are WARM,finally.

I do like them as for as warmth.I think they are wide,so the pattern needs some adjusting for the next pair.

Thank you,I'll see how I like these first.It took me a yard of fleece,because I lengthened them 51/4 more on the fold and I had to make my fold at 18in,folded the yd in half, to cut with the stretch.My sis picked me up the rug backing (or shelf liner) by the yd.Didn't use much of that.Had my insul-brite and warm and natural,already.
