TIP: Use Parchment Paper (baking paper) any time you're working with iron-on adhesives/interfacing. That way you don't have to worry about it getting glue/adhesive on your iron. Place it between your iron and your project before pressing.
I’ve made these shoes multiple times but have to rewatch this video each time I make a “batch”. The video is actually a little different than the instructions that come with the pattern, and, IMO, these instructions are much better! These shoes aren’t the easiest for a beginner, but with a little patience, you’ll end up with great shoes. (Best thing is they stay on their feet - can’t say that about all doll shoes!)
I have the Jane patterns and love making and adding them to all the outfits I make. Even though I have made them in the past, this video gave some helpful tips that will make the project a bit easier going forward. I love that the Janes can be used with fabric and you can match to outfits.
I’ve had the Janes pattern for quite a while, but haven’t felt confident to try it. Thank you for putting these great instructional videos on UA-cam! Now I’m going to give the Janes a try!❤
Wow! I have never made doll shoes before, although I have wanted to try. After watching this, I am so excited to make some shoes! My granddaughters are always asking for shoes, and I have just bought them, but I am ready to start coordinating by making my own shoes to go with the dresses I sew. I am super excited to try some different shoe patterns! Time to get some shoe patterns and some pixie packs! I love these tips. They continually inspire me to be more creative and to try new ideas. Thank you so much for ALL that you do!
I haven't made any shoes yet, but have LOTS of PixieFaire patterns for shoes. I will start with the Janes and use this video as a guide to help me. Thanks!
I've hand sewn sandals, Mary Jane's and saddleshoes for different styles of Barbie feet. But I haven't made these Janes. They are very cute. And I learned about using the heat bond tape. That looks very helpful.
My daughter's dolls don't have very many shoes. This video makes me think I could make her a few pairs out of the massive amount of scraps I have in my stash.
I have not made any shoes yet. I purchased several shoe & boot patterns together with the Janes Pixie Pack & am eager to get started on that and the Dorel Boots.
I have yet to try any of the shoe patterns, even though I have purchased the supplies. It's just a bit daunting but with the videos available, I think I'm ready to tackle my first pair of shoes!
I have made some similar shoes for dolls, but I have not made these particular shoes. I would love to improve my skills in this area - something that I don't do very well. I have a very hard time getting the hot glue to stick.
Thank you so much. Great video. Does anyone have any advice for an alternative to using cardboard soles? In the tropical climate where I live it's necessary to wash the shoes occasionally.
You could use the thicker 6mm foam instead of layering the chipboard, just cut about 1/8" additional seam allowance to accommodate the thicker foam inside the shoe (instead of 2mm chipboard). The cover the bottom with 2mm foam.

These are my favorite shoes for the dolls.

Very helpful. I now feel confident that I can make some shoes. Thank you. 😊
I always learn something when I watch your videos. I have never made the open toe Janes. Will have to try them soon!
I've made the Jane patterns but not for awhile. This video is great and has inspired me to make some shoes! Thanks.

I have yet to try any of the shoe patterns, even though I have purchased the supplies. It's just a bit daunting but with the videos available, I think I'm ready to tackle my first pair of shoes!
That is a good way to make the shoes. I have the pattern for those and w will use this video to make them.❤️😘
Great!

Would be nice to make shoes to coordinate with outfits.
I have the pattern but haven't made them yet.
I have not, although I have all the materials to do so.
I haven’t made these yet
I have the pattern!
Thank you so much. Great video. Does anyone have any advice for an alternative to using cardboard soles? In the tropical climate where I live it's necessary to wash the shoes occasionally.

I've never made these before, but they don't look that hard.
