Baby shoes

I am anxious to make another pair of these because for my first attempt, I chose the absolute hardest fabric to work with. That fuzzy stuff is awesome, but super difficult to work with since it frays and slips. The roommates inappropriate reactions included: "they look like duck feet" and "why did you make those?". I think they're cute and plan to use them as part of a baby shower gift. The lining and soles are made of flannel.
