AAAH! Janes!! My favorite!
[...] you’ve got your JANES made… now you need a cute shopping bag to carry them around in! Below is a simple template [...]
OH MY! I just downloaded the JANES!!!
My only problem is that I’m on vacation – sitting here in my condo and can’t make any till I get home.
They are so cute. This is fantastic!
Can’t wait to see what’s next.
All I know is I’m going to love it.
Thanks Fran! We’re excited that you’re SO excited
Thanks Fran
Ok I am buying this now.
so can we use the “Janes” brand too in case we decide to sell this?
Sure, you can call them JANES, just be clear that they are made by you
Hi
Just received this pattern and cannot wait to make them. I notice on the instuctions, black corrugated foam soles. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase this foam
Thanks
Hi Wendy, Sorry… this is a product that we have an abundance of because we had oredered a few dozen tennis shoes that we took apart to use the rubber edging for antoher project. I reused the black soles for the JANES that I’ve made for sale. I haven’t been able to find somewhere to buy this exact same product. Of course you could always do what I did, but it’s a bit time consuming
The other method I show, using the chipboard (a very sturdy cardboard type product) works best, and can be paired with foam or cork for a great realistic look for the bottom of the sole. Hope this helps!
Cinnamon
Wendy, Here’s an idea:
I thought about making these for my dolls, and I was also mulling over what to use for the soles. What I’ve found is that if you get a cheap pair of flip flops in the largest size available, they work as a great alternate. Try old navy, you get two pairs for 5 dollars! I went and bout size 11 Flip flops lol. Just take the flip flop, lay it on it’s side and cut it in half so that it makes the sole thinner, and less awkward.
That’s cool!!! Good idea Claudia. I want to get these and other patterns. Any suggestions for beginner sewers?
I’m planning on purchasing this pattern but I’m wanting to make sure I can get all of the supplies. What did you use for the trim?
HI Brittany, I used a thin hemp trim that was braided into a thicker strand. I’ve also used thin grosgrain ribbon in black, braided as trim for the dark grey wool pair featured here: http://pinterest.com/pin/43206477645306152/ Hope this helps
i love this pattern soooo cute
Love this pattern. Purchased it and can’t wait to get started. How do I get the happy dress pattern?
[...] shop? I know our dolls love shopping so when I saw the doll sized shopping bag shown with the new Liberty Jane “Janes” shoe pattern, I just knew I had to share it with you! Liberty Jane is always coming up with the most fashionable [...]
I love this
I’m probably gonna buy it
I like to leave a lot of smiley faces.
I want these so badly! I haven’t bought anything from you guys yet, but I’ve gotten free patterns, and I love them! The first thing that I’ve ever sewn was the tank top. It didn’t work out too well, but I’m getting better! And my sister has a serger, so she is going to teach me how to use that so it will look even more professional! Love you guys!
This is a great pattern i really love it. Thanks!!!!!!!
I’d love to see this made glittery sparkles.
I’d like to see this made in embroidered denim.
I would love to see these made in either black or brown leather. would that be cute?
i love it! so cute! wish they sold janes! i am terrid at sewing
HI Annabelle, Guess what? JANES are on their way! We will have them available at Liberty Jane Clothing soon
YAY YAY YAY!
I would love to see janes in pink too or navy that would be cool can you sew these and sell them on ebay that would be cute cute cute cute cute
Hi! I love this pattern! I was just wondering what else would work for trim? I’m having trouble finding the hemp.
Thanks for all the great patterns!
I bought the JANES pattern and I’m having a lot of trouble making them. I wish you had a more detailed picture tutorial as far as each step goes. I haven’t found chipboard anywhere and I’ve asked at Hobby Lobby and Michaels. Could you update with more pics??? Thanks
Kristi – try cutting up a cereal box. The chipboard I’ve bought at the store is generally thicker, but cereal boxes are cheaper.
hihihihihihihihihihihihihihihhihi!!!!!!!!!!
Hey….
can you please make the Janes cheaper??
PLZ the 24.99 doll shoes are a bit TTTOOOO Expensie for “DOLL SHOES”

NOT TO BE MEAN! :./

hi cinnamon i was wondering if it said in the instructions (before i buy the pattern) how to make the little tag that says JANES on it, also i had a request
-could you make a white sparkly pair and sell on ebay or etsy?
Could you make this pattern for Heart for Hearts dolls?
Sorry about the two messages. It wasn’t loading. Thank You!
Sure, great idea
Could you make this pattern for Heart for Hearts dolls?
How do you make the “Janes” label on the back of the shoe?
These are so cute! I recently got a pair myself. And one guestion Cinnamon, Where could I buy the cork?
Whoops, I mean question.
Just got the pattern and i’m wondering what a steam a seam is and a heat a bond is. Also where can i get it?
never mind about what a steam a seam is
HI, Both steam a seam and heat and bond are fusible products that work when heated with an iron. The heat will melt the glue causing it to stick to the fabric, then when it cools it’s fused together. It’s helpful for creating those tiny hems
