A 3rd option for baby shoe patterns is to find a shoe you like (thrift stores are a great source), take them apart, and use the pieces to make a pattern.
Obviously wool is my favorite choice for making baby shoes, but I also like linen. I hit the jackpot thrifting this past weekend when green-tagged clothing was 25 cents. I came home with a selection of jackets and clothing made of cashmere, angora, leather, and wool.
This coat is made of some of the thickest wool I've seen. Perfect for baby shoes. I'm thinking of adding a bit of fur lining to some winter booties.
