There is nothing like a strong winter spell (at least in my part of the world) to make layering everyone's fashion statement. Hand tack bows to cover the join point of the ruffle. Be careful to pull the elastic as you stitch, to maintain the ease. Hand stitch the piping closed, with the stitching line following the seam join point on the right side, so that your stitches are hidden. Pin it around the perimeter so that you have a neat piped edge.
Fold it over the edge, and tuck the seam allowance under. (You only need a little elastic ease for a good fit.) Zigzag stitch down elastic center. Zigzag stitch the elastic around the slipper edge as follows: Align the elastic with the slipper edge on the inside, pinning it all around with a little ease. With right sides facing each other and edges aligned, pin the bias floral fabric all around the perimeter of the slipper edge. Pin ruffle, centered, aligned with denim edge, to slipper front. Pull the basting stitches to form soft gathers.
Stitch a row of basting stitches ¼”, along the bottom edge. With wrong sides facing, stitch one pair of ruffles together, sewing ¼” around the half circle shape but not the bottom. Trim off any lining that extends beyond denim. Pin.īaste together all around the perimeter of the edge. Slip the linings inside the slippers, smoothing neatly in place. *If you like your slippers cushiony then slip the foam soles on top of the cardboard. Iron interfacing to the cotton lining upper and sole.įollowing above instructions for the denim, stitch the lining upper to the sole. With something firm, like a pair of blunt scissors, press firmly on the seam, to give it a pressed finish. It is a wee bit tricky, so take your time to stitch a neat, curved line, with toe gathers evenly distributed. With right sides facing, pin the upper to the sole, matching notches. Pull the toe basting thread, easing gathers, so that the toe will curl under softly. Pin and trim any excess off the top and bottom so strip aligns with denim edge. With wrong sides facing each other, center strip over the heel seam. Fold back ¼” seam allowance along each length and press. Reinforce the heel seam with the cotton floral fabric as follows: Interface 3” strip floral accent fabric. Stitch the heel together with a 3/8” seam allowance and press open. Sew a row of basting stitches between the toe notches. Iron the interfacing on the back side of the denim uppers and soles. (If you like your slippers more cushiony cut out a pair of foam liners as well.) Cut two cardboard soles (cutting 3/8” smaller all around the perimeter of the Sole.Cut the floral accent fabric: Cut two bias strips 1” x 24” wide from the floral print for the piping + 4 x half-moon pattern for the ruffle + 2 strips 1 ½” wide x 3” long for the heel trim.For the lining, cut two soles and two uppers out of the pink gingham + two sole and two upper interfacings.Cut two soles from the durable material.Cut two denim uppers + two upper interfacings.Strike up the band: Young children often enjoy practicing striking by drumming on pots and pans with spoons or playing with other toy musical instruments.Make it more fun by using small stuffed animals and pretending they are crossing a river. They can then switch sides and throw the items back over the line to the other side.
Have kids toss the objects over the line, onto the floor on the opposite side. Put an equal number of soft items-like scarves, rolled-up socks, beach balls or lightweight bean bags-on either side of the line.
