Fairy Shoes

Last year I went on an excellent workshop on making fairy shoes at Newbury Embroiderers Guild. The teachers name was Annette Emms and we all had such an enjoyable time.

You could make pixie boots and fairy shoes and I made both.

These are the boots I made with silk, felt wire, chiffon and beads. It was a bit fiddly at times but very absorbing.

The fairy shoes are smaller but are made in a similar way.

I became quite addicted to making the shoes and couldn't wait to make some more.
