I hope you are all doing well at this crazy time. I’ve been thinking about you, I know it’s scary, healthwise, and financially for many. I’m trying to do my bit by staying home and checking in on my family and neighbors. But I wanted to offer something for you too! I don’t have pages of patterns but what I do have I want to offer for free. Along with it I want to sew along with you on my instagram stories so we can all do something together. Think sewing night with the girls. It’ll be great. follow me @britt.stitch on instagram for those sew alongs.

We will start with the Mary Jane Ribbon Tie shoe. This pattern includes two versions. Pattern A has an elastic back and Pattern B does not. After making this shoe about 100 times I will tell you to MAKE PATTERN B (pattern B instructions start on page 7). Don’t even bother with the elastic back version. I’ve literally used it once since I created it because with the ribbon tie you don’t really need the elastic (unless you’re really worried about tying it too tight or you want to tie it once glue it or sew it shut and use the elastic to get it on and off. So I guess it’s there if you see a use for it.)

Alright without further ado. Here we go welcome to the Mary Jane Ribbon pattern.
