A perfect pattern for Waldorf Indoor Shoes.
Skill level: Beginner - adventurous beginner
- Extensive size range

- Fantastic scrap buster
Make old things new again! Twig & Tale patterns pair wonderfully with recycled fabrics. Look to fine, soft sweaters, hand embroidered napkins, gently-used vintage sheets, and leather/corduroy garments for inspiration.

I bought this pattern to make slippers for myself and my daughter and they turned out so well. I am a beginner at best but found the pattern easy to follow and understand
The pattern is really easy to follow and the sizing works out perfectly!
The narrow and wide feet options are fantastic and allow a perfect fit.
I added a layer of foam as padding between the sole and lining and that really helps make them comfy!
I started with the baby Wayfarers and was surprised at how easily they sewed up and how cute they were!
Bonus - They are reversible💗!!
They were so lovely I made an adult pair for myself. I found these a little trickier but well worth the effort.
After 3 or 4 pairs in baby size I was finally brave enough to try the Animal upgrade and modified the pattern slightly to produce a tiny little pair of Koala slippers.
I needn't have hesitated, the instructions and tutorials for the Animal Wayfarers are clear and detailed and I'm extremely happy with the end result.
For me, the purchase of the Wayfarer Family Bundle and Animal Upgrade was money well spent ❤
These shoes are seriously so cute. The patterns are easy to follow, and the sizing options on the adult sizes work so well! I've loved every pattern I've gotten from Twig + Tale and fully intend to buy more.
Excellent pattern, easy to follow, detailed instructions thank you.
Love this pattern! Making for charity. So easy yet so lovely!
Very well written and explained. Easy to follow with a great final product.
Accurate cut pattern, understandable instructions, the result is super! My little girl and I are very happy too! :) I already regret not buying it with the adult sample at a discount, but I don't mind. Next I will buy the adult-sized shoes, for sure! :)
