Ok, am I ever glad I remade these shoes.
I knew I could do it better, and I really wanted to practice while I had the time, supplies, and initiative to do so.
The colour is great (I went for teal), the laces are thinner and more delicate, and the general shape and quality is better overall. I bet the next time I make these they'll be pretty darn near perfection. Again as a reference for size, you could hold both of these shoes in the palm of your hand, and not have them touch your fingers. Teeny. Weeny.
I think my friends are going to FLIP when they see these little guys on their baby shower cake :oD
