Introducing Oleo Vonvurstenberg and Leather Baby Booties

March 6, 2009
Remember our little shadow friend that came to visit? Well, I decided to make him a reality, sans toothpick. I used smooth silk/linen fabric from fabmo (so soft for a little baby) for the body and velvet embroidery thread for the details. Velvet embroidery thread, while not cheap, is hands down my favorite to work with. It's just so yummy! Without any further ado, I'd like to introduce you to Oleo Vonvurstenberg. He's sweet, always happy to see you and loves curious little babies. Oleo Vonvurstenberg _dsc2094sm I also made a pair of regal baby booties in black. Leather. I just love this bitty booties pattern from Heather Bailey, it's so easy to hand sew and even easier on the sewing machine. _dsc1865sm
