Just stepped out...

we packed-up our "perfect happy little summer shoes" last week,

and headed out for a little summer holiday...

we're enjoying lots of special celebrations and sweet times

with our family and friends!

I just popped-in to share *again*(by an overwhelming amount of requests!)

the tutorial for the "perfect happy little shoes for summer" ...

1. begin with a plain pair of flip-flops

2. cut a butterfly shape from your choice of fabric

(I chose two for extra stability)

3. stitch the two fabrics together using embroidery floss

4. cut a slightly larger butterfly shape from another fabric

 and loosely stitch a gather in the center

5. cut a fourth piece of fabric in a strip and stitch down the center and ruffle,

then stitch all pieces together down the center

6. cut a long narrow strip of fabric and tie around the butterfly body,

knotting at the top, trim ends to form "antennas"

7. sew a vintage bead or stone for the butterfly head

8. simply attach the butterflies to the flip-flops using hot glue

(and I added a few stitches using an upholstery needle too)

and now try on your new perfect happy little summer shoes!

and enjoy!

Have a wonderful week!!

Many Blessings!
