+Slippers +======== + +.. figure:: fabric_slippers.jpg + :align: center + +.. only:: html + + .. contents:: + +A simple pair of fabric slippers with a padded sole. + +Depending on the materials used, especially that of the sole, these can +be suitable for either indoors or outdoors wear. + +As a small project with fiddly curves they are especially suitable for +handsewing, but can of course also be sewn almost completely by machine. + +Materials +--------- + +Fabric +^^^^^^ + +* ~25 cm canvas or other fabric; +* ~25 cm cotton batting or other padding material (optional). + +As the fabric, cotton or linen canvas is a pretty standard choice; +toweling materials can also be used, or fleece for a pair of winter +slippers. + +For a more technical look, you can use mesh for the uppers and back; in +that case the sole lining will have to be different, a fast drying but +confortable material like polycotton is a good choice. + +For padding, cotton batting or even a few layers of scrap fabric are a +good fit for fabric slippers; for technical ones you can use EVA foam or +a similar material. + +Notions +^^^^^^^ + +* sewing thread to match the fabric; +* strong thread (e.g. thick waxed linen) to attach the soles to the + slippers; +* 1-3 m cotton yarn for cording; +* two soles or sole material that can be cut in the shape provided. + +My fiber craft patterns site has `instructions for braided twine soles +`_ +that can be used for fabric slippers. + +For technical slippers you can use rubber sole sold in sheet; note that +in that case the padding material will have to be suitable for glueing +the sole to it. + +Pattern +------- + +Download the pattern: :download:`slipper.val`. + +Measurements +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +You need to take the following measurements: + +``foot_width`` (E01) + at the widest part of the foot; +``foot_lenght`` (E03) + from the back of the heel to the tip of the toes; +``foot_circ`` (E03) + around the widest part of the foot. + +The file :download:`foot.vit` has the required measurements. + +Pattern +^^^^^^^ + +``upper_length`` + from the point of the toe to the end of the uppers: default is half + the length of the foot; +``back_height`` + height of the heel guard at the back; +``sides_height`` + height of the heel guard at the sides' +``sewing_allowance`` + basic sewing allowance: 1 cm is a good choice, but if you're using + thicker padding materials or more heel layers you may have to + increase it to 2 cm to be able to wrap it around. + +Instructions +------------ + +Cutting +^^^^^^^ + +Cut two soles and optionally two or more heels (depending on the height +desired) from padding material. + +From the fabric cut two soles, two uppers and two backs, the latter two +by placing the small sewing allowance on a fold of the fabric; +for even more precision cut a longer piece of fabric, sew the cording +and then cut away the eccess with more precision. + +Note that the allowance given is for one line of cording and needs to be +increased if you want to add more. + +Cording +^^^^^^^ + +.. figure:: 0201-back_side_seams.jpg + :align: center + + This picture was taken from an early pair of slippers with a straight + back, sorry. New pictures will be taken if I make another pair with + the current pattern. + +Fold the back right sides together, sew the short side seams, clip the +corners and turn inside out. + + +.. figure:: 0202-cord_in_uppers.jpg + :align: center + +.. figure:: 0203-cording_uppers.jpg + :align: center + +Put a lenght of cording in the fold of the uppers, carefully sew as +close as possible to the cording with a running stitch; optionally +repeat with two or three total lines of cording. + + +.. figure:: 0204-cording_back.jpg + :align: center + +Put a length of cording in the fold of the back so that it fills the top +snugly, carefully sew as close as possible to the cording with a running +stitch. Here one line of cording is usually enough. + +Uppers and Backs +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. figure:: 0301-sewing_uppers.jpg + :align: center + +Align the uppers to the notches of the sole, sew all around the upper +with a backstitch. + +.. figure:: 0302-sewing_back.jpg + :align: center + +Also align the backs to the remaining part of the sole, sew all around +with a backstitch. + +.. figure:: 0303-side_seams.jpg + :align: center + +Right sides together, whipstitch the side edges of the back to the fold +of the uppers. + +.. note:: + if sewing by machine, align the sides of the back to the fold of the + uppers, side by side, and sew from the top with a zig-zag. + +Padding +^^^^^^^ + +Baste the optional heel padding on top of the padding. + +.. figure:: 0402-sewing_padding.jpg + :align: center + +Pin the sole of the slippers on top of the padding, clip / notch the +allowances and sew them to the padding with a herringbone stitch. + +.. note:: + even if sewing most of the slippers by machine you will have to do + this step by hand. + +Sole +^^^^ + +.. figure:: 0501-sewing_sole.jpg + :align: center + +Using strong thread, sew the sole to the assembled slipper with a blanket +stitch. + +.. note:: + If using rubber soles you will have to glue them to the slippers + instead.
