cat slippers

Elia wanted house slippers for her seventh birthday.  Instead of purchasing them, we found a pattern for making slippers.

 

This book has only a handful of projects, but the price is reasonable.  Hana made a pair of slippers too (see the picture below).  I mentioned to someone that the slippers were easy to make, but Elia piped up that the blanket stitch was hard.  I don't remember her having a particularly difficult time with it, but it was a new stitch.  Youtube is a great resource for a sewing novice like me.  I can watch again and again until I get it.  Usually the videos are so well made I only need to watch them once.

 

 

 Em did not want to make slippers.  She wanted a kitty purse.  I made this small coin purse for her Sunday school money.   It took me one evening, and I had fun.  I think I could be happy forever just hand sewing.
