How to sew slippers from fabric.
The easiest way to make a pattern is to gently rip old slippers and circle every detail. But if you do not have such an opportunity, then we proceed as follows. We circle the paper on the foot and add 1.5 centimeters on all sides, and then cut it out. On the foot detail, note the level at which the top of the slippers will end. We bend the sole detail according to the marks made and we see a small rounded upper part in front of us. We circle it on paper and cut it out. Carefully cut the resulting part in the middle, directing the ends of the scissors to the rounded part, but do not cut to the end of 1.5-2 centimeters. We put the blank on paper, push the ends of the cut part to the side by 5 centimeters. Circle the simulated detail of the top.
Having finished with the pattern, we set about cutting the details of the fabric. You will need to make double details of the sole and top for each slipper. The bottom of the sole is best cut out of faux leather, felt or thick jeans. For the top, any beautiful fabric is suitable. If it is dense enough, then one layer is enough. For thin fabric, you need to cut out the lining. Cut out the details of the sole. We put them together and connect the line at a distance of 2 millimeters from the edge. We also connect the details of the top of the slippers, after which we fringe a straight cut with an oblique trim or decorative braid.
Put the top on the sole. Equalize the details of the notches and stab with needles. We connect a straight line. We turn over the soles of the slippers with an oblique trim. The ends of the braid are superimposed on each other and stitched. Choosing a plain fabric for slippers, be sure to decorate the top with any decorative trim. For this, embroidery, appliques, the remains of beads, bright beads or rhinestones are suitable.
