ANABELLE BABY SANDALS
SIZE: US BABY’S 1-5
These pretty little sandals with a slip-on back strap are a must-have item for your baby this coming summer. Anabelle
Baby Sandals are adorable baby sandals that are perfect for outdoor wear in the stroller, at the beach, or on a picnic. Its
open toe and heel design allow for air circulation to cool off your baby’s feet on a hot sunny day. This sandal matches
well with both dresses and pants, and can have a different feel to it depending on the fabric you choose. A vibrant
colored and patterned fabric will result in a cute pair of shoes, whereas solid shades of fabric will produce a calmer, more
classy look. Dress your baby daughter in Anabelle Baby Sandals this summer! Designer’s Review

Cut out the Fabric
Draw the patterns directly onto the wrong side of a single layer of fabric. Because there is a right and left
shoe you will need to reverse the sole and upper pattern when tracing. Make sure the right and left pieces
are separated to avoid confusion when attaching the soles. Cut out the exterior, lining, and interfacing.
Fuse the interfacing on the wrong side of the exterior following the manufacturer’s guide.
