Members lazyd Posted June 16, 2011 Members Report Posted June 16, 2011 I have a saddle repair shop and I end up with lots of scraps of sheep wool skins from re-fleecing saddles. I have alway thought they would make a fine pair of slippers. Anyone out there have a pattern that would work for that ? Or, what do others do with their scraps?? Thanks-------------------Bill Quote

Members alb Posted July 21, 2011 Members Report Posted July 21, 2011 THis site you posted has some very interesting patterns. Have you done any with sheepwool? If so, are you trimming the fleece, and what size are you making for a given shoe size, to take into account the wool?

Members moxgrove Posted July 28, 2011 Members Report Posted July 28, 2011 I use sheepskin with about 5/8 inch fleece. You can just increase your seam allowance, or clip the fleece down a bit Quote
