I know, long time no write, but thngs have been crazy around here and with yet another surgery for me on the 11th (for those of you keeping track that will in fact make 5 since june) writing has not been a priority. I have had some really great projects lately and one of them was the opportunity to come up with a solution to the barrage of dirt that was being tracked into one of my favorite clients homes by her in-laws. The issue was how to keep the dirt off her floors without them taking their shoes off, and while disposable covers are available, they arn’t very “green”. These are what we came up with. She picked out the fabrics and I sewed them all up. They have the pretty fabric on the outside but a nice thick barrier fabric on the inside so even if there is a little damp on the shoes it wont soak through! They turned out reallywell and she said they work great! Next set will have some form of grippy on them though as I imagine ppl could slip and slide on hardwoods :)
