Cat Shoes DIY {inspired by} Charlotte Olympia

Posted by on Monday, September 12, 2011 · 27 Comments 

Hi guys, this is Andrea from PaperSparrow!  As you may know,  I am a smitten kitten when it comes to cute cat fashion.  Who isn’t, right?  That being said, the price tag on these uhh-mazing items would inspire any DIY-er to get out the needle and thread and get to work.  Here is a shoe project inspired by the adorable Charlotte Olympia Embroidered Cat Flats.


I paired my Cat Flats with a homemade skirt featuring Tammis Keefe Cat Print and my favorite jewelry from I’m Your Present. If you make these shoes  *you should-it’s easy*  please share your photos : )  Thanks!! xo -Andrea

    The plain black flats are super on their own, but are made fantastic and cute as Kitty Cat Flats. Love them! And I love the skirt fabric, too.

    […] Showing just a bit of skin will make you stand out in a sea of layered-up Rhiannons. Mohair sweaters like this one were so ubiquitous in the ’50s and ’60s that they’re easy to find in thrift stores now, and they’re cheap enough that you won’t feel bad about doing an inelegant hack job on the hem, or washing it in warm water so it shrinks (this was how we made our “baby tees” in the ’90s!). Pair with a dramatic ankle-length skirt like this one from Topshop and your very simplest pair of black flats. Images from ModCloth and The Teal Cat Project […]
