To Make Slippers

Cutting Out

Using template A (or using the inner soles as a template and adding 3/8ห/1 cm around), cut two pairs of soles from the dark gray felt. (Each sole is a double layer of felt.)
Using template B, cut two uppers in dark gray felt.
Using template C, cut one large circle and four small circles for each shoe from light gray felt.

Appliquรฉ

Pin felt circles to each upper as shown in photo to make a pawprint shape. Then stitch in place using short, straight stitches and matching thread, as shown.

Seams

Easing in fullness around toes, baste each upper to one layer of felt for each slipper. Place each inner sole between the two layers of the felt for each slipper.

Using a single strand of dark gray yarn, sew the upper to the double-layered sole, and then stitch around the back part of each sole to complete. Remove basting.
