Yes, I will succeed :)

Can you adapt the patterns so there’s support around the heel?

I am a below knee amputee and I can’t wear slip ons because they don’t stay on. As as result I either go bare foot or wear out my socks really quick!

Thanks

I really enjoyed reading through your tutorial! I never imagined you would get so many opinions as to cost, etc. You have a great community of Followers as well. Great blog. :)

Thanks for the fair warning and all, but I pinned it to try at a later date! Maybe a slightly thinner towel and base would help although it probably wouldn’t end up as comfy as yours!

Special Order is not my cup of tea. I totally appreciate immediate satisfaction (even if it takes a few hours) and the ability to personalize with color or prints and embroidery, oh my!

And of course if I set up the L/S machine I might as well make a few new handbags! Just love that I have an excuse to make things!!! LOL…
I am also going to try to make these with just a leather bottom and batting for when I want something a little less bulky to pack in a suitcase!
Great pattern and tut…thanks!!!
