They are bootiful! (sorry, couldn't resist). Such pretty colours and lovely felt.

Such fun booties Marion! Sorry I don't have any suggestions for elastic the only booties I've made were for shower favors.

These are really cute. Would it work to make a channel inside the top of the felt with a resist and put the elastic in after felting?

Ah, what a great idea Ruth! I'm going to give that a go today - along with my 3rd attempt to make a notebook cover that actually fits the notebook. First one way too large, 2nd one just a smidge too small. Maybe I have to knuckle down and do some proper calculations!

They're really nice! I was going to suggest something similar to Ruth-make the top of the booty longer to fold over for an elastic channel.

I tried to make some WW with a piece of fabric felted in on the bias. It didn't work at all, but most of it was the execution.

I think that would work Elizabeth.

Cute booties. keeping them on is a problem. the one I have seen wok the best have some way of tightening around the ankle. you have to be very careful with ribbons and string because of chocking hazards.

Great little boots. You do have to tightly sew the base of the lace so it can not come out. I think buttons are against the rules.
