20080908_TieOnSlippers_BLOG

Made by: Tissuepapers (via Whip Up)
Project: tie on slippers
Method: machine sewing (although you could handsew them too)  - pattern and instructions here
Difficulty: basic
Time: easily under an hour
Materials:  1 x solid fabric, 1 x print fabric (size depends on your foot - check instructions), tape measure, scissors, thread, etc.
Hints: Tissuepaper suggests wearing these Doris Day inspired slippers on those lazy days of summer afternoons sipping your chilled ice tea.  Or maybe a strawberry daiquiri? Nice.  I also thought maybe you could paint on some puff paint dots on the soles to prevent slipping on smooth surfaces?  Its a VERY clever pattern!

If just making a super quick tutu, omit the ribbon or hand sew a bow on the back.
