There is no official baby bootie pattern for the Project. Purchase your own, do an online search for baby shoe patterns, or check out some of the ones I have found below. The new installation plan calls for 15,000 pairs of WHITE booties. If you are making only a pair or two, please make them white. Embellishment/trims can be any color of your choice.
If you are making or helping to make a panel, be sure to make enough booties in each color to complete the pattern. Many panels are made up of only one color.

Want to sew a pair of Mary Janes? These are great for those whose panels are mostly black.
There are 70 miscellaneous patterns at this page alone.
Please remember that what matters most is that you care enough to make a little elegy. Your booties do NOT have to be technically perfect or lavish, though you are welcome to make them as fancy as you like.
Is there an actual pattern for the mocosins?
The pattern is clickable and can be found in the supply list of the instructions. It is easy to miss.
Where do we send them I have them ready to mail

The address is on the instructions and permissions forms. It is TheMourningProject.com, 2000 South Hermosa, Tucson, AZ 85713. Please be sure to fill out the form and stitch each bootie to its mate. Thank you!
