My old slippers fell apart, so I needed to get some new ones. But since I had some left over materials from older projects, i decided to sew my own...  

materials:
pieces of a woolen blanket, some leftovers from a gym-matress and some pieces of camouflage canvas
a sewing machine
needles
scissors
piece of cardboard
paper, edding, chalk

Step 1: Outline the pieces

 Outline the needed pieces (sole and upper part) on paper, make them symmetric and cut them out. For the sole I planned to make two pieces to create an overlap to be able to turn the whole thing inside out after sewing.

Great idea.

This blanket looks like a Swiss army one. Not of my best memories... Now, stepping on, this is something I have to try! ;-)

 Yes, it's swiss army :-) My memories are not that bad. I served as a cyclist... But putting away the feelings for idea of military: the materials the have are great!

 It's really easy. It took about one hour from idea to finished slippers...
