Things have been a little quiet here, as it has been excitingly full pace in the Big Little studio...
I've been working away on some lovely new patterns, including some which I actually sketched over three years ago! The first of the new collection are some warm and happy blanket boots.
It has taken quite some time, but I believe I have created the perfect slipper boot!
Wool outer from vintage blankets, fully lined in soft fabric, gentle elastic encased in between the layers to stay on active feet, a super thick and comfy felted insole with leather outer soles - great for low slip on wooden floors, not to mention really adorable :)
I am seriously so, so pleased with them - even though I almost lost my sanity getting them just right. With a little help in grading them up to larger sizes, they now also go up to youth size 4 (about 8 years). Wahoo!
So stay tuned in the next few days for some pics of my first pairs to leave the studio - I can't wait to share them with you. I'm just a tiny bit proud of them, can you tell?

ReplyDeleteOh, my! These are beautiful! My girl would love some. I'll have to keep an eye out. Cx
ReplyDeleteI love them I love them! So worth the loss of sanity to see these cuties right? They are awesome! xx
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Lisa - you are so clever. They look so snug & warm & cosy.
ReplyDeleteThese are just wow. And love the idea of boots made of blankets! They look super. I've got a little person kicking around in my belly at the moment, so for us it's still a while to go until needing a boot but i hope you'll be still making them in a couple of years time (although it's more than tempting to nab one now!) looking forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeleteReally sweet, it was worth the effort!
ReplyDeleteI just showed these to my 8 year old, who commented that they're pretty and she'd wear them. These would have been perfect for my girls to wear inside the hut we stayed at this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous wee boots I feel a want/need of those!
ReplyDeleteThey look just gorgeous.
