Now for the top part. There are 2 ways you can do this - the first I did on the aqua felt slippers, I simply laid the cotton fabric against the felt and did the oversewing stitch to secure the two pieces together. The navy blue pair however, I laid the patterned fabric face down onto the felt, used my sewing machine to sew around the inside and out (leaving the 2 ends open), and then with a safety pin pushed the piece the right way out. Do whichever seems less confusing for you to get the cotton fabric lining the inside of the felt. Once the cotton is attached to the felt, sew the 2 ends together.
Time to put top and bottom together! Pin the front of the upper slipper piece to the sole piece. Pinching the top/bottom pieces together, begin from the back to stitch the two. Again I used the oversewing stitch. On the aqua pair, once I had been around one time, I went around again creating little criss-crosses for extra security and detail. Tie off loose thread with a small knot on the inside of the slipper.
To ensure a snug fit, sew a small piece of elastic or elastic lace to the inside of the slipper.
Embellish with buttons, fabric flowers or other detail! Place finished slippers on a gold velvet pillow, pat yourself on the back and get some well deserved rest!
