I've been busy busy busy making Christmas presents, which obviously, I can't post about. What if they see? But, we had an early Christmas with my folks in Cleveland this past weekend so these are no longer a secret.
For years and years I remember the hunt for black Isotoner slippers for my mom. She wears them everyday so by December she's in need of new ones. Having recently tackled baby shoes and thoroughly enjoying them, I thought, how perfect would it be to make slippers for my mom this year?
There were, however, two attempts. The pattern I used didn't call for elastic at all, but when I got one done I thought it absolutely needed some to ensure a good fit. But, I had used what little I had left of a special purple fabric my mom had given to me from her own stash years ago. I was sad to have lost that fabric, but once I got the second pair done, I realized that I could use the inserts from the first pair for a pop of color.
