Supplies Checklist:

• Old Towel
• Thicker Material (like vinyl) – Check for remnants!
• Scissors
• Thread
• Sewing Machine
• Stuffing (I decided not to use the foam pictured)
• Interfacing or Paper (if you want to make a pattern of it)

Step-By-Step Tutorial:

• Gather the materials above.
• Trace around an old pair of slippers (or your foot if you don’t have an old pair you want to use).
• Trace over the pencil with marker and include instructions on the pattern piece.
• Be sure to add a seam allowance (about ½” is good) and cut it out.
• Do the same thing with the other foot.
• Trace the same thing again and then cut it in half (this will be the top of the slipper.
• Do the same thing with the other slipper.
• Cut out both of these, on the fold. I forgot to add seam allowances to these so I cut about &frac12″ out from the pattern.
• Cut out the inside of the slippers on the towel material. You just need one of each of these.
• Do the same thing with the vinyl material.
• Sew the open area of the top (wrong sides together) of the slipper together.
• Sew all the way around, leaving a small opening so you can flip it right side out.
• Do the same thing with the other top of the slipper.
• Flip the top of the slipper right side out.
• Sew the opening together by hand.
• Do the same thing with the other top.
• Now pin the vinyl piece and the bottom inside towel piece right sides together.
• Sew all the way around, leaving a small opening so you can flip it right side out.
• Flip the bottom right side out through the opening you left.
• Do the same with the left slipper.
• Fill with stuffing to make a nice soft bottom for your feet.
• Pin together the opening by folding the outside in.
• Sew the opening together by hand.
• Repeat with the other slipper.
• Now pin the top of the slipper to the bottom of the slipper like so.
• Sew the top to the bottom by hand, leaving an opening for your foot! Note: You could use a sewing machine if you have one that will allow that thick of material to go through; but sadly, I don’t have one that will.
• Repeat with the other slipper.
• You’re done! Now you have a new pair of slippers from an old towel. Enjoy and be comfy.
