Stitch Week - Day 2 - Cozy Slippers




Welcome to Day Two of My Stitch Magazine Spring 2013 Week!  We are a no shoes house and I wanted to design slippers that are as fun to look at as they are cozy to wear!  This patchwork pair is made using a paper piecing method and is a great way to use up some favorite scraps.    The strap is made by encasing narrow 1/4" elastic to give it a cute gathered look that is functional too!



There is a pattern to make them without the patchwork uppers as well!
 
Happy sewing
Charise

  15. Hi, Charise. I bought the Spring issue just to make these slippers, but I made the mistake of purchasing the digital edition and trusting that the pattern was available for download on the Interweave site. It is not. So I have the tutorial portion in the magazine, but not the actual templates. Is there a way to get the template pieces outside of tracking down the actual hard copy magazine and buying it again?
