Make your own slippers - Autumn Class

Learn how to sew your own toasty warm slippers using pre-felted recycled wool, and leather.
There will be a few styles you can choose from, and the photograph here shows just one option. All you need to bring is your feet, or the outline of your friend or family members footprint on paper. All else will be provided. We will be hand sewing the slippers, with the plan to complete at least one slipper within the workshop period, and you may take resources home to finish the other if need be. There will be a sewing machine set up too.

Schedule: 1pm until 4pm we will go through each step with one slipper. A light afternoon tea will be provided about 4pm. From then until 6pm all are welcome to stay and continue sewing your first slipper. Everyone will take needle and threads home to finish the slippers.
