Felted booties (tops).
Finished gift with (tightly) sewn on felt balls.
Infant crown and booties plus big sister crown.
The infant crown came out a bit large after felting...
...so I trimmed it and sewed it back together to make the proper size.
The big girl crown tips were still a little floppy after felting (too few layers!)...
...so I folded up each point, and sewed a large "X" on each with embroidery thread.
For the booties, I used a resist pattern from "Felting for Baby" by Saori Yamazaki...
...using blue pre-felt to delineate the bootie bottoms.
I'm still a bit uncertain about the safety of using felted balls as a decoration...
...even though I followed the directions in this book.
I'm going to suggest to the Mama that she should snip them off when the baby gets a bit 'grabbier'...
...just to be certain that she doesn't manage to pry one off and choke on it.
