Easy to follow pattern and we'll detailed. My slippers were successful and I have made them for all the family.
A super easy sew - I had to hand sew these as I broke my last sewing machine needle and wanted to get them done. It was really enjoyable to do!
We had great fun making 5 of the tie-back boots in a weekend, distracted only by my 4 month granddaughter. We found them a little fiddly to make, but I'm sure will get easier the more we make. They came out a little small so the grandchildren have had a little shuffle in boots and we'll make more for the oldest. We also had problems with the liner wrinkling. I'm hoping a few more stitches would hold the liner and outer together better. Maybe there is a rick in which material to line with?
Thanks Twig + Tale for the tie back boots pattern. I made them from my old dressing gown with fabric from an old linen shirt as lining and leather off cuts for the sole. I use them for snuggly slipper boots (regular height, internal elastic) and love them. Plus they were easy to make.
I love this pattern so much. Its an easy to sew pattern, with so much opportunity to individualise. I opted to use ribbing, but will definitely make more with tie-back. Super cute!
This is my first pair of slippers I have made and it was so easy. This was a trail pair to see how hard it really was. I made it to match a diaper I already had. I can't wait to see how she likes them and how well they stay on her little feet. The smaller they are the cuter they are and a little more tricky to sew. This is a baby size 6. I used vintage corduroy and bamboo fleece lining.
This was another fun T+T pattern. I am trying to use up a stash of wool remnants and this worked great, and I had scored a thrifted suede shirt that I used for the toe. I may make a couple more pairs as gifts, and a short pair for myself. The calf adjustment is wonderful. I had some old outdoor-canvas laying around that I used on the sole, to make them waterproof for quick trips to the woodshed in a little snow.
Very easy to follow. The calves of my baby are a bit too big to fit snuggly into the shoes. Using stretchy fabric would prevent that problem though. Love the finished shoes.
What a fun pattern.
Such a lovely pattern!
Looking forward to warm feet in winter!
