Felt slippers from an old sweater pattern
Oh boy oh boy. I have a 100% lambs wool sweater I picked up and felted in the washer that would make wonderful thick slippers. What an easy idea for Christmas gifts. I looked at the pattern (see link above) and think I will trace my own feet and adjust the top pattern to match for a trial run.
I bet these would look really good hand sewn with buttonhole twist thread and a blanket stitch. If you haven't sewn by hand for a while it goes faster than you think it would. Just in time for cold weather plus wooden floors.
P.S. I used the wool this weekend to make hand warming fingerless mitts for a friend returning to the Jersey Shore to distribute. I'll be on the look out for another sweater.
