1) Thread the needle through the centre of the bead and then back through the fabric.
2) To use the running stitch push your needle down into the felt and up again in 1 movement to make 1 stitch.
3) Draw and cut out your appliqué shape and position it on your shoe.
4) Use the catch stitch to attach your appliqué shape. Go through both pieces of felt and over 1 side of the appliqué.
5) To add laces use a pencil to pierce the felt along the toe for a place to thread the laces through.
6) Thread the laces through the holes of the felt and tie a ribbon.

6. Mid Review
Have I...
Made my stitches neat (the same size and space apart)?
Sewn on my beads/sequins or appliqué with small and neat stitches so the thread cannot be easily seen?
Sewn on my beads/sequins or appliqué tightly so they are secure and not falling off?
Cut out my appliqué shapes neatly without jagged edges?
Pierced the holes of my felt to add the laces an the same size and space apart?
