Oooh thanks Karen, I may just give that a go. I thought Dylon would do something for a DIYer. The shoes are dyeable satin, I made sure of that before I bought them, knowing that I'd be getting them done once we'd settled on a shade of red. At least they're hidden under my layers of petticoat and dress if it goes wrong

I hope that my child, looking back on today
Will remember a mother who had time to play;
Because children grow up while you're not looking,
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs go to sleep.
I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.
