  Step 1

  Draw around your foot on to a peice of paper. Make a template that is slightly larger than your foot, this will be the shape of your slippers.

• 

  Step 2

  Draw out your slipper on to the towel, remember to flip the template over for the left and right foot.

• 

  Step 3

  For the soles of your slippers, you should use a tougher fabric such as fake leather. Cut out one left and one right foot of these.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut your template in half and then draw out a wider peice of towel for the hood on the foot. You will need 2 left and 2 right hoods.

• 

  Step 5

  Sew the right hoods together, leaving a small gap, fold inside out and sew up the open gap. Repeat this for the left hoods.

• 

  Step 6

  Attach the hood to the towel sole with pins.

• 

  Step 7

  Sew the hood on to the towel sole, removing the pins as you go.

• 

  Step 8

  Pin the fake leather sole, wrong side up on top of the towel sole, so that the hood is on the inside.

• 

  Step 9

  Sew around the base, leaving a gap at the end. Fold inside out.

• 

  Step 10

  Fill with stuffing and then sew up the gap.

• 

  Step 11

  Decorate with ribbons and gems.

Hi, do you think the denim would work instead of the fake leather? I don't have any fake leather

Cat Morley · London, GB · 1428 projects 22nd January 2014

Yeah, any heavy duty fabric would probably work well!

Steph. · Reading, England, GB · 212 projects 23rd January 2014

Ok, thanks! And did your sewing machine struggle to sew it, because it looks really bulky in step 7 especially :/

Cat Morley · London, GB · 1428 projects 23rd January 2014

It wasn't too bad actually. I used a heavy duty sewing needle though!

Steph. · Reading, England, GB · 212 projects 24th January 2014

Haha, ok thanks!

These look cute and cuddly warm. First time I've ever seen a pattern like this one. Good idea!
