Pleasant View Schoolhouse: Slippers. I Made Them.
Somehow I'm fascinated with vintage patterns for slippers--they are often included in bedjacket patterns. I tried these out this week.
They are completely hand-stitched because I couldn't get them under the machine.
For materials, I cut the sole out of some kind of fake suede/shearling I had a hand-me-down scrap of, and the cream color is wool felt. The outer layer is pink corduroy, and they are bound with commercial quilt binding. They were fun and easy--but I don't think they'll stay on without a strip of elastic sewn in place to be a heel strap, as suggested by yet another vintage slippers pattern.
How pretty slippers. They look so cozy! Anna, I admire you can do anything so easily!
I have a whole Pinterest board about making/sewing shoes and slippers. I'm very intrigued, but the two times I attempted it were disasters. Yours look pretty, but I'd definitely want the elastic!
