Those who are a little older will never forget the gift of International Children's Day that year. My mother would start sewing and sewing layers of soles for us early on. The soles were made of cloth and pasted layer by layer to dry, then cut into shoe patterns. We would then sew and sew them together, and the insoles and upper would also be embroidered with beautiful decorative patterns. On International Children's Day, my mother took out her little shoes and put them on for us. She watched us jump up happily and smiled with maternal love in her eyes. Nowadays, we are also mothers, and few mothers can make embroidered shoes anymore. However, we still miss those embroidered shoes full of love. Tomorrow is International Children's Day. Let's also make embroidered shoes for our children and talk about our childhood dreams!

Steps to make Carving Eggplant Embroidered Shoes Remembering Childhood
![]()
1. Choose two purple eggplants with similar shapes and sizes, preferably one with a slightly shorter shape that is neither thick nor thin. Of course, green eggplants are also acceptable, but they are short and fat, so the carved ones will probably look like pig hooves embroidered shoes, haha!![]()
2. First, gently scratch the toe opening of the shoe on the eggplant with your fingernails, then use an art knife to draw the line along the nail, and peel off the purple skin surface of the upper layer of eggplant. Remember not to dig the shoe hole deep for now because the flesh of the eggplant peels and oxidizes quickly. In order to be photographed, leave the shoe hole until it is almost finished before digging![]()
3. Carve decorative patterns on the top of shoes, usually including small flowers, tigers, dragons, phoenixes, peonies, and so on. In the past, patterns on shoes were usually symbolic. Of course, those are too difficult for us, so you can carve some simple flowers!![]()
4. Make the other shoe the same way![]()
5. Prepare to finish the shoe hole digging program for two embroidered shoes with beautiful patterns carved on them. To dig a shoe hole, you can first use an art knife to make a deeper cut along the shoe opening, then make a cut from the middle 30 degree angle. The eggplant flesh will be easily removed, and finally use a ball digging tool or spoon to trim the inside neatly, smoothly, and visually. If you want to take photos as a memento, you need to hurry up because dug eggplants oxidize faster.![]()
