Sew House Seven - Moon Booties
Sew House Seven gave us a couple new gifts this holiday season, the first includes these awesome booties. Moon Booties are the ultimate slippers; they're like puffy coats for your feet. These slip-on booties are non-foot specific and fit on either the left or right foot. The lining is slightly contoured to your foot thanks to the inner elastics at the ankle and foot bridge and the adjustable cord and toggle at the outer ankle. The foam sole insulates your feet against cold, wood, stone or ceramic floors and the insulated upper keeps your feet cozy and warm. The reinforced last and sole adds to their durability. Make a more technical pair for camping, ski trips or harsh weather settings using outdoor waterproof or water repellent fabrics. Or, use your scraps to make a cozy scrap busting natural fiber pair for home.
Sizes: Both Kid sizes sizes KA-KF (US 4 - 13.5 & 1 - 2) and Adult sizes AA-AF (US women's 4 - men's 14) included
Skill Level: Intermediate
Fabric Recommendation: Light-weight wind-breaker like fabrics such as nylong or polyester rip stop or taffeta; waterproof and breathable fabrics such as Gortex (or similar brand).
Format: Available as a PDF (Digital) Pattern with Copyshop Print Option

Our member meteor has already made her Moon Booties. What did meteor have to say about her booties? "This is a fun technical project. If I had the time, I would do some quilting design for the outside of the boot."
Sew House Seven - Skyline Tee
Our second gift from Sew House Seven is the basic tee with loads of options. The Skyline Tee is a classic, body contouring t-shirt that includes five different necklines and four different sleeve options that can be interchanged to make a t-shirt for every season and occasion. Choose between a full length hem or a cropped hem.
Sizes: 00-20; 16-34
Skill level: Intermediate
Fabric Recommendation: Light to medium weight 4-way stretch knit fabrics with at least 50% horizontal and vertical stretch such as cotton stretch jersey, bamboo stretch jersey, stretch baby French terry, stretch thermal knit, stretch rib knit, stretch pointelle knit. Good stretch recovery is advised so that neckbands don't stretch out, however, too much stretch recovery may result in a tighter fitting t-shirt.
