Free Pattern: 3 – Seam Baby Footies 

Materials Needed: Scrap of fabric

Matching Thread

2 - 4" pieces of 1/8" elastic

be used for commercial purposes.

1. If you are using a non-raveling fabric such as

micro-fleece, cut 4 Uppers, 2 Soles, and 2 Back

Heel A pieces.

If you are using a fabric that will unravel, such as a

woven, cut 4 Uppers, 2 or 4 Soles, and 2 Back

Heel B pieces. Skip to 2*.

2. Turn under the straight edge of the Back Heel A

piece and stitch to form a 1/4" casing. Using a tiny

safety pin or bodkin, thread the elastic through the

casing. Stitch across the ends to secure them.

Trim off excess corners.

2*. Fold each Back Heel B piece in half along the

foldline. Stitch along the straight folded edge 1/4"

in from the fold edge to form a casing. Thread the

elastic through the casing, secure the ends.

3. Pin the Back Heel piece to one Upper, right

sides together, elasticized edges toward the center.

Place the second Upper piece on top of the Back

Heel piece, right side down.

4. Stitch across the straight edge (1/4" seam

allowance). Turn to the right sides.

5. Mark the center front and back on the Upper

and the Sole pieces. Place right sides together,

matching center markings. Pin.

6. Stitch all around the edge with a zigzag stitch.

Let the right side of the zigzag go off the edge to

give a slight rolled hem effect. This makes a

minimal seam allowance that will be more

comfortable for the baby and also a cleaner edge.

Turn the 3-Seam Baby Footies to the right side.
