Amazing Baby Shower gifts!
They have become very popular baby gifts for friends and family in the Law Enforcement. Pattern size fits 3 ¾ inch foot length (newborn and up) as long as it’s comfortable. Bootie is designed from the sole up. I have left space on the sides so you can personalize the door area. When giving as gifts, I look up the colors, K9, vehicle number and placements of the emergency lights for the police or sheriff department for that individual. These tiny details will be noticed by the family. I absolutely love the white wall tires! I also have patterns for Firetruck, Ambulance and School Bus booties (sold separately).
Note on embellishments: be sure that tires and lights are securely attached to the bootie and made of child safe materials. I use a knit tire design, you can also embroider the tires using the circular spoke design used for the headlights. You can use shiny satin or glitter embroidery floss but I find that cotton floss works the best for sewing and washing. I use Cascade 220 super-wash, light worsted and has lots of great colors. Medium worsted can also be used for slightly larger finished booties. Good light is recommended when working in dark colors.
Some embroidery is required for details.
