Fuzzy bunny slippers from recycled sweaters and felt details

Step 4 Make and attach the slipper's non-slip sole

Cut out two inside soles from felted wool sweaters. You'll want to cut one with the arch facing to the left, then flip the pattern upside down and cut out one with the arch facing to the right. Repeat to cut out two bottom soles from the grip stop fabric so you have one with the arch facing to the left, then flip the pattern upside down and cut out one with the arch facing to the right.

Place the bottom sole (grip stop fabric) face down on your table. Lay the inner wool sole on top, right side up, matching arches. Pin together placing pins on the grip stop fabric side. Baste together very close to the edge - it will make it easier to attach the sole later. And here's a tip: Place a piece of paper underneath your presser foot to keep the little rubber circle grippers on the fabric from gripping onto your presser foot. Nice, huh? When it's all sewn, you'll have the grippers on the sole bottom with a nice soft felted wool sole inside to keep your feet cozy.

Now you're going to attach the sole to the slipper. Pin the middle back first - middle of the sole pinned to the back seam of the slipper upper. Then move to the front - pinch the sole in the half to find its center. Pin together, placing pins on the slipper upper side (rather than on the sole side). Sew around to attach. I used both a straight stitch at a 1/4" seam plus a zigzag stitch and I think it looks pretty professional if I do say so myself. Turn right side out. You can use a bone folder to help push out the seams.
