Fleece Toddler Slippers Tutorial and Pattern: Size 7/8

Without Tabs

Thanks for being patient as I've put this pattern together.  The pattern, I'm sure, is less than perfect, but hopefully it will be helpful as you make some warm slippers for your favorite little feet.

First things first.  You will want to go and print off the pattern pieces.  You can download the pattern here, this is an updated file so hopefully you won't have any problems with it. You will want to make sure that you print the pattern pieces without scaling the images.  There is a one inch test square on each pattern paper, check it to ensure that it is scaled properly. (Slipper size 10/11 here, slippers size 5/6 here-See original pattern for pattern marking key).

With Tabs

                                    

On the pattern  you will notice a dashed line that runs along the slipper upper "tongue".  I decided to try out the slippers without the tongue/tab, because I thought that it might make the slippers a bit more gender neutral.  If you decide to make the slippers with the tongue, follow the basic instructions below, following the shape of the shoe as you stitch.  If you choose to sew the slippers without the tab, simply clip off the extra tab when cutting out your pattern pieces.

Fleece Toddler Slippers

It seems that I always have cold feet.  In the winter I live in knee high socks and slipper socks.  Clark, on the other hand, hates wearing socks if he doesn't have shoes on.

To solve that problem I used up some of the fleece that I had in my fabric stash, and made some nice slippers for Clark's cute little feet.

The slippers are my own design, and still have a few kinks that need to be worked out.  This is version number two, but there are some adjustments that I'd like to make to them.  I've considered making up a printable pattern for you, but unfortunately I don't know how to grade patterns.  If I were to come up with one, it would have to be Clark's size, which happens to be a 7 to 8. Let me know in the comments if you'd be interested in that.

The slippers are fully lined with a velcro closure.  They are sure to keep Clark's toes nice and warm.

The slippers are the same basic design as the baby slippers that I pictures back on Wednesday.
