Hi and welcome to the on-demand version of the Darcy Boots for 18" dolls video sew along, brought to you by our friend Connie Tkach of the sewing project sewing school!
This was originally a live sew along on Facebook and we've archived it here so anyone can follow along with the videos to make these adorable shoes.
There are two videos in this sew along that will guide you from start to finish making the boots. There are also tons of tips and tricks from Connie's experience that make creating these doll boots fun and easy.
