Step 1 – Draw the Pattern

Draw a 5 x 6 inch rectangle on paper and cut it out.

Fold it in half to make a 5 x 3 rectangle.

On the fold measure and make a dot 1/2 inch in from the side. Draw a line from that dot to the top corner.

Cut this triangle off.

Label the pattern “scrub bootie – cut 2”.

Step 2 – Cut the Fabrics

Pin the pattern to your fabric and cut out 2 booties.

Step 3 – Sew the Casing
Fold the top and bottom edges 1/2 inch.

Sew along the edge to make the casing. Be careful to sew straight so your elastic will fit when done.

Step 4 – Insert Elastic
Use a pin on the end of your elastic to help guide it through the casing.

Sew across the ends of the casing to hold the elastic in place using your presser foot as a guide.

Step 5 – Sew Side Edges

Fold the bootie in half with “pretty” sides touching. Make the side edges even and pin.

Sew both sides using a 3/8 seam.

Turn pretty side out and gently poke the corners out.

Repeat all steps for second bootie.
