Slippers, Slippers...

This is 13yr old Sage working on her slippers.... no,
they're not the first pair she's made, don't worry.
Suzanne did slippers as a class project with her grade 7's at the Vancouver Waldorf School in the fall; they rolled out a flat sheet of felt to the soft-felted stage; then cut out a simple sole and vamp/heel shape, sewed them up, and finished the slippers to to hard-felted stage right on their feet, using a big wooden washtub.
Suzanne herself makes slippers right on a wooden foot last (collected from antique shops over the years). There's also a Scandinavian method described really well in Pat Sparks' book Scandinavian Style Feltmaking.
We're a little bit obsessed with felted slippers down here... so far no one
has topped Suzanne's Gypsy Slippers (the green ones with the elf-point toes) --- she won an award for them at last fall's One of a Kind Show in Vancouver.
If you want to make some too, then sign up for Felting on Sunday afternoons or Monday nights with Suzanne -- you gotta start somewhere!
