Smocked Slippers

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!!
