I purchased the
Midnight Slipper pattern from
Stitch Upon A Time because I prefer soft-soled slippers. For this pair, I fussy-cut some scraps of fleece to make my first pair. Here are all my pieces cut out. Since I made this with fleece for the outer and lining I did not use fleece between the two layers. I substituted the bottom with non-slip fabric. I also used a piece of batting between the lining and the non-slip fabric for a little extra padding.
I was a little concerned about the bulk for the elastic when using two layers of fleece but it came out just fine.
The assembly is quick and straightforward. If you try this pattern and something doesn't make sense I found
this YouTube video that shows the assembly in detail that might help you with assembly.
When you get to the end you make an inside-out sandwich with the soles.
That non-slip fabric is totally necessary for me. I have no carpet in my home so not slipping on the laminate flooring is important.
I'm really pleased with how these turned out. I think this pattern is great for making small gifts to friends. I don't know if everyone needs slippers but I'm willing to take that chance. I've got plenty of fleece scraps that want to spend their time being slippers.
