happy feet


I spent the last several days stitching these felt slippers for Lillian, Tim and Ella. It's Ella's 100th day picnic-party in Golden Gate Park this weekend, coinciding perfectly with Tim's birthday.

All the fluffies of the felt kept getting in my mouth and throat - eugh. Thank goodness for nostril hairs.

The template is from that DAB Martha. I added three layers of fleece in the soles for added comfywomfyness :)


Waiting for them to come home!



The instructions called for interfacing, but this would only work with the sort of interfacing that is already adhesive one side and then ironed. I opted for the cheapest one (of course) and this didn't work well. I don't think the heat could transfer well with a fabric so thick as felt. So no need for interfacing - glue gun all the way.
