Translating Japanese sewing instructions

I am trying to make head or tail from the instructions for these baby shoes, Google Translate makes no sense at all, it's just random words and lots of Japanese characters.

The translator is supposed to make strange translations, it automatically translates 10 or more times, the above is after 10. It fails to come up with a translation after 25 or 54. Too many characters I suppose.

The shoes are coming together nicely, I am up to attaching the soles, I chose pink gingham and am adding white lace hearts.

Multitasking.

Have been honing my multitasking skills today, need to add that to my resume, cooking, sewing and facebooking at the same time. Have been cooking roast beef in the slow cooker, I've just pulled it out - boy is it tender. My husband loves the roast beef rolls that are sold at events, I've never been able to work out how they cook it, now I know. The recipe came from Simple Savings.

Ingredients:
1.3kg roasting beef
2 tbsp gravy powder
1 crumbled beef stock cube (or 1 tsp stock powder)
1 cup water
2 tbsp cornflour
1/2 cup red wine (optional)

Method:
Combine the gravy powder and stock with a little water and mix into a smooth
paste. Add the rest of the water and stir until smooth. Pour into slow
cooker. Place meat into slow cooker on top of liquid. Place lid on slow
cooker and turn on to 'low' setting.

Go back to bed, go to work, or find something else to do for 7 hours.

Turn the slow cooker off and pour the liquid into a big shallow container
like a roasting pan and put it in the fridge until the fat solidifies on the
top. This will take a while, so now is a good time to make the
roast/mashed potatoes/veg/etc.

Once the fat has solidified, scrape it off and bin it. Put the cornflour into
a saucepan and pour in about 1/2 cup of the meat juices, stir
into a smooth paste, then pour in the rest and stir over heat until it
thickens.

Slice the roast beef and place it into a shallow serving dish and pour the
gravy over the meat. Serve with all the other stuff you made to go with it.

I have made the gravy for the roast beef without refrigerating the liquid to
solidify the fat (usually because we were all too hungry to wait) and it has
made no appreciable difference to the taste (no greasy taste either) so if
you are really pressed for time or just can't be bothered you can skip it
altogether.
