Piratey skulls

I've been working on so many things recently that I completly forgot to finish off my piratey baby booties. I finally managed to put the applique skull and cross bones onto them today and here they are all finished!

They will be available on my Etsy shop (Etsy) within the next week or so and will be in sizes, newborn, 3-6 months 6-9 and 12months.

Here is the pattern for the skull and crossbones applique...
