toxo Posted 23 hours ago Report Posted 23 hours ago Been threatening to have a go at slippers for quite a while because I have the leather and a bit of sheepskin and at the moment I'm stubbornly walking on holes. I couldn't find any cheap outsoles and I found a cheap vinyl mat with a good textured back and I immediately thought glued back to back would make a decent sole for a pair of slippers. Draw around feet and cut out. Oversize because I intend to make things easy by sewing and binding around the outside. Rough up and glue. Work out the shape you want. I was very pleased that the 801 skiver took the sheepskin in it's stride. Top level glued and turned. Feet cut out. First try for fit. Cosy or what? That's where we're at now. More to follow. Quote

I guess a round shape is more generic and easier to do. What do you think about overhanging shape so can sew around the outside? Wouldn't wear em to a party but for indoors or the garden.........
