MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
An old sweater
Scissors
Sewing pins
Scrap yarn
Large darning needle
Paper or card stock for tracing
Non-slip grip pads (optional)

STEP ONE
Make a rough outline of your foot on a piece of paper or card
stock. Leave about ? inch of extra space around the edge for comfy
slippers and easy sewing. Cut out your shape, then repeat for the
other foot.

STEP TWO
Place each cutout on the body of the sweater and cut around them to
create two sole
pieces. Tip: Use
double-sided tape to keep the paper from slipping around while
you’re cutting.

STEP THREE
Stick your foot into the sleeve of the sweater through the opening
at the wrist. Pull the fabric around your leg to the desired boot
length.

STEP FOUR
Very carefully, cut the fabric of the sleeve away from the sole of
your foot. You’re trying to make it so that just the bottom of your
foot is exposed. Now you have your leg piece!
STEP FIVE
Attach the sole to the leg piece with sewing pins. Start with one
pin at the toe of your bootie and one pin at the heel. Then stretch
the fabric as necessary to line the two pieces up and pin them
together.
STEP SIX
With the pins in place, the sole
and the leg piece together. To do a blanket stitch, 1. push your
needle through both layers of fabric from the top, 2. pull the yarn
through until only a small loop remains, 3. bring your needle back
down through the loop, 4. pull the yarn tight. You can also add a
blanket stitch around the opening of your boot to make it look
extra-polished. Tip: For
extra traction, glue on non-slip grip pads or decorate the bottom
of the soles with raised lines of fabric paint.
