Sewing:  felted wool slippers

felted wool slippers

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:

For: Women

Style: Cute, Casual


Materials

I used a man's wool coat that I purchased at the thrift store.

What was your inspiration?

I've wanted some new slippers for a while. I was super excited to see slippers on the Fab Felt Holiday Crafts class.

What are you most proud of?

I'm just really excited how these turned out. Wearing them right now as I write this ;)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The first slipper took me a full morning to make. Once I got it figured out and the fit just right, the other foot took me only about an hour to whip out...or less. Super happy with these. Will never buy slippers again.

Neat slippers. There is a pattern on Marthastewart.com for these really cute cut out slippers that I am hoping to make. Keep up the good work!
