Finally finished both yesterday. The colors of the fabric really look better in person. The camera is doing something funky with the colors. These weren't hard to make, but I have learned some things while making this pair that will make the next pair turn out much better. I'll also be looking for one of the hooked needles, so I won't have to use the jab method to attach these.
I would love a pair of these for myself, but I usually buy closed toed slippers because my feet are always cold - especially my tootsies!
These are for my dmil. I made her a smocked nightgown last year, and these should match. If I can find the same fabric, I may make her a matching robe for next Christmas.
With the completion of these, I believe I only have 2 gifts left to make for Christmas, and one of those is well under way.
Happy sewing!!
