Materials for slippers
Итак, чтобы сделать домашние тапочки своими by hand, you will need very few materials: an old sweater, scissors, paper, pins, a skein of wool yarn and a thick gypsy needle. Optionally, you may need an insole for the inside of the slipper or a non-slip rubber pad for the sole. It is desirable that the sweater be tightly knitted, otherwise it will quickly fall apart when you cut it.
Slippers with your hands from sweaters - work progress
Make a pattern for the sole. Simply trace the foot on paper, leaving a margin of 1.5 - 2 cm from the edge of the leg. Cut out the shape.
Place the pattern on the sweater fabric andpin it so it doesn't slip. Note that we pin both the back and the front of the sweater. The sole of the slipper will be double, so it will be warm even on a cold stone floor. Carefully cut out the sole. Repeat for the other leg. If you don't want a double sole, then use these two parts for the right and left legs.
Put the sleeve of the sweater on your leg to a comfortable length - to the knee or just to the ankle. Cut the sleeve slightly diagonally so that only the foot remains uncovered.
Pin the sole to the main part. Start with the toe, pulling the fabric where needed to connect all the parts.
Thread the wool yarn into a gypsy needle.Start sewing the sole to the main part from the toe. There are many options for sewing. You can simply overcast the edges, you can stitch and then decorate the edges with tape, you can use the overcast decorative stitch shown in the photo below.The knitted wool sole can be very slipperyon the floor. If desired, sew on another outer sole made of thin rubber, cork, leather, silicone. To personalize such cute slippers, sew on pompoms, bows, ribbons, buttons, embroider the owner's name, make an applique, etc. And may your feet always remain warm and cozy!
