patchwork slippers

The other day, as I was browsing through my old quilting magazines, I came across these totally adorable patchwork slippers designed by Ayumi (summer 2011 Stitch magazine). What can I say? I pulled out my gorgeously organized scraps right away and got to work.


Fun, aren't they? And the whole pair took only a couple of hours to make. Yay! for instant gratification projects :).

  
I had so much fun making these log cabin blocks, especially the hedgehog one. And I really seem to be enjoying this red/ gray color combo lately.


 I used walking foot to  sew the slippers together and I was quite surprised at how well it worked out. Even sewing through the non-slip slipper fabric was not such a big deal. It was sticking slightly to my machine so I had to pull and tug a little as I sewed but I kind of expected that. 

Also, I used lots of Wonder Clips to hold all the layers together.

I did a little search online and found out that you can also buy this pattern here. I made a size M slippers and they fit perfectly (my shoe size is 6.5).

Wishing you all a very lovely weekend. Svetlana

  18. Hardwood floors are beautiful additions to any home, but they can also pose problems for people’s feet. Hard floors can make tired and achy feet ache more and all too often, house slippers will slip on this type of flooring and can result in falls and injuries.

    The best slippers for hardwood floors are those slippers that are anti-skid and have enough cushioning to provide a buffer between your feet and that hard wooden floor.
