The Pattern is called "Snappy Slippers" by Gerri Richards from Cool Cat Creations.

Wow! I am in awe of your slippers...so professional looking. Are they labor intensive? They sure look like they take a lot of time to make. You are a pro for sure.

Do you have any hints on making them for the rest of us who might be thinking of makeing them.
and finally, they look fantastic. you did a wonderful job on them.
did you make a pair for yourself? you know how it is, we never make for ourselves.

These are not hard to make if you have basic sewing skills. You do a sew and flip technique and can use as many or few strips of fabric you want to to use ( more is better for me, scrapaholic that I am). By Annies Stabilizer is the product suggested in the pattern to use to make them sturdy and it is a very nice sewable product and also works great for tote bags. The other thing you need is the bottom fabric which is made for slippers and has the nubby rubber bumps on the bottom which is also easy to find.

Read the directions and read them again. I was able to do it and I have dyslexia which really means anyone can do it. Take your time. I can make a pair in three or four hours. The first pair took a lot longer.

Those are awesome, I may have to get that pattern. It would be a great way to get a heel that's high enough to stay on your foot. Has anyone else noticed that slippers work like clogs today? The heels smush down and are useless. Thanks for posting, I'll give them a try.
