my contest entry

The Michael Miller Baby Bootie Contest deadline is today! Here is my final entry:


Thanks again to everyone who gave me suggestions on how to improve my shoes - as you can see, I really took them into consideration.

A few of the changes that I made:

• A darker fabric to make the white elastic "pop"
• A white trim around the bottom to make them look more like tennis shoes
• A more interesting liner fabric
  
• A brighter sole (quilted this time)
  

I'm very pleased with the final result and can't wait to see them on my boy (they'll match perfectly with the necktie onesie I made him).


Also, thanks for the photography advice and the tip on the awesome photo editing site, http://www.picnik.com/. I love it! Apologies for not shooting these outside, on some nice green grass, as many of you suggested. Unfortunately, there is no natural sunlight available at 2:30am, and if I'm not a procrastinator, I don't know what I am. :) Next time!

Here's a photo to give you an idea of the size - I think they'll fit a baby from about 6-12 months.

Thanks again for all your advice and support!
