Must. Make. These.

I ran across this tutorial from the Naughty Secretary Club blog and was COMPLETELY SMITTEN.

Shoes covered with fabric scraps.
I think it was the yo-yo straps that really got me.

I'm assembling supplies to make my own pair.

You start with a pair of plain, Chinese-style shoes.  I got mine from The Pillaged Village.

That lovely bag of little batik fabric scraps came from our orchestra's music librarian, who is paper piecing a quilt and promised me her scraps.  Thanks Ella! I think they're going to be perfect for this project!

I certainly have plenty of yo-yos!

The only thing I'm missing is Fabric Fusion glue, which I have ordered from Amazon.

What fun!  I can't wait to try this myself.  Many thanks to Jennifer at The Naughty Secretary Club for this fun tutorial!
