My daughter and I made these slippers in one (chilly) morning. They were so simple and fun to make. I’ve attached instructions here, but the process was really simple. We created a pattern by tracing her feet, then cut the felt with an extra half inch around for the seam. The soles are two pieces of wool felt with a double layer of batting for warmth and comfort, and the upper is a double layer of felt. The hearts were my daughter’s embellishment–I like how she put them off to the side.
To make these you will need: approximately a quarter yard of wool felt for the soles, and another quarter for the uppers, some batting, and thread. It is important to use good quality wool felt, such as Wollfilz (available from Purl Soho in an array of gorgeous colors).
these are reminiscent of Maggy’ paper shoes which she bestowed on her father one Christmas. However, I suspect that they are much more comfy.
GK
I still have my stunning Mondrian paper shoes!
Love love love. So sweet. May try to make some this weekend depending on the weather (snow today, 65 degrees later).
I hope my instructions are clear, but let me know if you try them out! I might make myself a pair, too.
