I opted to add some crocheted flowers just because I love flowers. I'm also going to hand sew a small piece of elastic across the top to tighten them slightly. Cost to me -- free because I literally used leftover yarns for the whole project and I will be using those small bits of elastic I have never known what to do with.
These are definitely not vintage :) I know what you mean. I always thought the vintage stuff is like from 1920s or so.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up I never wore other slippers than the ones my mom would make and they looked pretty much (or very close) to the ones you are making. I didn't like them then (not cool enough) but LOVE them now. Just a bit of growing up ;)
It is funny how it just takes a bit of growing up. I would love to have my mom make my clothes now and a lot of the things she did when we were growing up.
Delete1920's -- exactly. That's vintage! :-)
My grandma used to make us slippers like those when we were little. I don't know how to knit well enough to make any, but I liked them as a child. Ours were always slick, so we would slide around on hard floors in them--fun!
ReplyDeleteThey are slick...lol. I have played with the idea of trying the fabric paint dots for non slip, but I have a fear of living paint on the floor. Fortunately our stairs are carpeted, even if the downstairs flooring is not.
