Announcing the latest addition to the “Curbys Closet” selection of baby shoes. This time it’s a fun Cowboy Boot! And just in time for all the summer rodeos and western BBQ’s!

You can purchase the easy to make pattern on our website or on etsy for only $9.00. Wholesale prices for quilt shops available on the website also.

Or you can buy a pair already made on etsy for only $16.00!

Here’s a couple of fun options and styles to choose from. Perfect for little baby girl or boy buckaroos!

They also come in a comfy rounded  toe style.

You’ll have a “yippie ki yay” good time making or purchasing these little darlings!! So mosey on over and take a peek!

If you want to make super precious quilted baby shoes, but you don’t quilt or don’t want to quilt up some fabric well….

I just added adorable pre-quilted 12X12″ fabric squares to my Etsy Shop and to my website. These fabric squares are perfect for making your Curbys Closet Quilted Baby Shoes. Just buy a Baby Shoe Pattern (choose from 3 unique styles) then buy a pre-quilted fabric square and you will be ready to sew adorable baby shoes in 45 minutes or less! They are so fast and so easy!!

The first square (shown above) is the Pink Posey print with a pale green stripe on the back. It would look so cute made up in the original pattern #101 or the new little Mary Jane pattern #110.

Or how about this cute Blue and Brown Stripe with tan on the back for little boys? It would look adorable made in our Baby Shoe Loafer pattern #105

This is a darling Pink and White Paisley print with a fun stripe on the back. It would be so sweet made in one of the little girl pattern styles.

And who can resist a wild and fun Brown Zebra print with dark brown on the back. I think that it would look so cute in any of the 3 Curbys Closet patterns. Don’t you? You pick!

Welcome our newest baby shoe pattern! It’s a darling little Mary Jane. So cute and sweet! And just in time for you to make for Valentines Day. They whip up in 6 easy steps and they make fantastic gifts!

It’s a fun and easy pattern for beginner to intermediate sewers and quilters.

I’m so excited to say that my new “CURBY’S CLOSET” baby shoe pattern was unveiled at the “Road to California” quilt show, this past weekend. It was fun to see and hear peoples positive reactions.

I feel like I have a new baby. It’s pretty fun I must admit. We also have a new boutique feature to the website. We will be adding many new items weekly so check it out.

If you love to quilt, sew or both. Make a pair of baby shoes for someone you know. They only take about 30-40 minutes. Easy, fun and cute… who could ask for more!!

Order a pattern at www.curbyscloset.com

Last night as I was looking on line for new quilt shops to check out and…. low and behold I came across a wonderful on line quilt shop called “BLACKBERRY PATCH QUILT SHOP“. I was really excited to look it over and take a peek. As I checked out the pattern section, guess who’s pattern was listed?? Yep, you guessed it. (Or at least I am assuming that you guessed it) it was the CURBY’S CLOSET Quilted Baby Shoe Pattern!!! WOW!!! That was such a fun surprise! I sure hope that lots more quilt shops join them.

Be sure to check out BLACKBERRY PATCH QUILT SHOP and see if there is a pattern, fabric, or jelly roll you might just have to have.

Well, thanks for letting me share my fun news with you.

I hope it’s still bragging Monday, cuz I’m so excited to tell you all, that I just finished my first CURBYS CLOSET QUILTED BABY SHOE Pattern. WhaaHoo!!

Here is a peek at what it looks like.

I was encouraged by my sweet friend Gina Halladay of  “THREADED PEAR PATTERNS“, QUILTERS BUZZ and “FRESH PICKED FABRICS”( a darling new fabric shop in Orange Co. CA) to make a pattern for my baby shoes.  My first thought was “No way, I have no idea how to make a pattern”. So I turned to the wonderful people around me. The front cover was originally designed by my artistic son Brett and myself for my website and then adapted for this pattern by my amazing husband Roger. Thanks dear!  My talented sister Cindi Hatch and I wrote the instructions. I could have never done this with out her. Luckily she has done this before with other quilt patterns. What a gal! Other valuable and awesome helpers were my sweet niece Cloey Hatch and my wonderful friend Kathleen Goodman. And last but certainly not least my fantastic Mother who encouraged me to do it and donated a little “seed money ” to help me get going.

So ladies…if you love to quilt, sew or give adorable, unique baby gifts this is a pattern that you will really love.  I would say that this pattern is for beginners with some sewing and/or quilting experience. This pattern would be awesome for quilt groups too!

These are what the baby shoes look like finished! In an afternoon you could totally make these! If you like to sew, but don’t quilt “no worries”. Just purchase a quilted table topper, or place mat and cut out your baby shoes from that. I have made many, many totally adorable baby shoes from both of these items.

Now if you are excited and ready to sew. Head on over to the right side of this blog. The patterns are sold on my ETSY and LOLLISHOP stores. Oh… and also, wholesale orders are welcome by contacting me at chris@curbyscloset.com.

Oh and I almost forgot… FREE SHIPPING offered to the US and Canada! (Not offered on wholesale orders)

I apologize if this was a bit too much bragging, but this is a HUGE deal for me. I am just so excited that it’s finished and ready to go!!

Best wishes all,

Chris
