These flats are just so 'flattering' for this rainy but green spring weather. I can't stop oogling them.
Fabric (enough to cover your shoes)
Mod Podge
Scissors
10"x10" piece of red fabric
Brush for glue
Razor blade or exacto knife
Hot glue
Step 1: Removed the baubles from the shoes.
Step 2: Removed the vinyl bias tape. If you left it on it would be too bulky when you add your own bias tape.
Step 3: Follow steps 1-12 of last week's shoe redo
One thing I did differently was that I added pins at the place were the shoe meets so the sole so that the fabric would stick to the shoe.
Step 4: Make little ruffles. Cut one 6"x2" piece of red fabric and hem one end over 1/4" on three sides.
Then sew a long stitch across the bottom and gather.
Cut another 5"x1.5" piece of red fabric and hem one end over 1/4" on three sides.
Then sew a long stitch across the bottom and gather.
Step 5: Hot glue it to the tip of the shoe as shown in the picture to the left.
Step 6: Add a red bias tape trim as shown in step 13 of last week's shoe redo.
Step 7: Cover fabric with a coat of modpodge. And let dry.

Hi! Could you share the name of that fabric? I really love it - not only for shoes, but wallpaper, pillows, Lord only knows what else. It's crisp & perfect!
Those would be completely ruined in the rain or even dirt, right? Do you simply wear these "in the office"? Or only wear them once?
