I traced the three pattern pieces for these slip on booties, so I could preserve the pattern. Seam allowances were 1/4 inches. No trimming needed.
These bear feet were pretty easy to assemble and fun to make. I really didn't know what length to cut the elastic. I measured the width of the bootie and cut the elastic less 1/4 of that width. I'd rather have them too loose than too tight. I stretched the elastic across the fabric and applied it with a narrow zig zag stitch. They appear just right.
Miss Harper could use these booties through part of the winter to keep her toesies warm, since she won't be walking for a number of months. It would be nice to use some of the components of this costume once Halloween is over.
