Lots of fun and exploring today while I got the group started on making their own slippers. We traced our feet and soles to start our pattern. We talked about smoothing the lines to make pattern pieces that will sew together well and give each person the shape slipper they are looking for. Then…we made a muslin.
The feet dresses! Next – sew on the sole.
Probably the toughest part is fitting the sole onto the body of the slipper. Hard because we are making up our patterns from tracing our feet, and not measuring. So, lots of pins and slow and smooth sewing.
Then, once the muslin fits, moving on to the actual slippers.
Pictures next week of finished slippers, and hopefully pics too of our next project – Scrap Scarves!
This is wonderful!
I’ve been making slippers too but don’t tell anybody!
