Instructions – Patchwork Slippers
Step 1: Prepare the Pattern
Download and print the PDF pattern (available at the end of this tutorial). Cut out the pieces and trace them onto your fabric and batting. You’ll need:
Step 2: Make the Patchwork
Create a simple patchwork panel using your fabric scraps. You can use any layout you like: log cabin, squares, or improv piecing. Once your panel is large enough, cut out the top and sole shapes from it using your pattern.
Step 3: Assemble the Upper Part
Layer one patchwork top piece, one batting piece, and one lining piece with the right sides of fabric facing out. Quilt through all layers to hold them together. You can use simple straight lines or decorative quilting depending on your style.
Repeat for the second slipper top.
Step 4: Sew the Slippers Together
Pin the quilted upper to the corresponding sole (patchwork outer sole + batting + lining). Make sure the edges align and the curved side of the upper is positioned over the top of the sole. Sew the pieces together using a ¼” seam allowance.
Repeat for the second slipper.
Step 5: Add the Sole Backing
To add durability and comfort, sew the non-slip backing (like felt or faux suede) to the bottom of each slipper. You can hand-sew this or use your machine if it handles thicker layers.
Step 6: Finish the Edges
Bind the raw edges using bias tape or make your own binding with matching fabric. This step gives a neat finish and helps the slippers hold their shape.
Optional Embellishments
