How to do it
This is how to make the felted soles for the slippers Stocking-stop is most durable if applied twice. Press the first layer down into the felt and apply the second layer on top. First try on a small piece of felt to get the feel of how hard to squeeze the bottle.
3 Draw around the foot and cut out the template.
4 Draw the soles with a pencil onto the felt and cut out.
5 Attach the sole onto the slipper on both sides and ends to prevent it from slipping when being sewn onto the slipper.
6 Sew on the sole with button hole stitches. Use a doubled yarn.
7 The soles have been sewn on.
8 Press sock-stop into the felt. Apply twice.
9 Let the slippers dry for a minimum of 24 hours.
10 For slippers without a felted sole, press latex into the wool using a foam stencil brush. Apply twice.
