Hello and welcome! Today I am showing you how to add the sole to our Victorian slippers. At the end of this video our slippers will be done and wearable! Using the tracing you made of your foot in the last video I’ll show you how to determine what size to use, and then go over attaching it to the finished upper.
Pattern for the sole: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vUolNsRjBtPUNxkvZDW3Ht8k7RTMTiOJ/view?usp=sharing
Supplies:
Yarn: approximately 200 yards total of one or two fingering weight yarns
Recommended: Knit Picks Palette: http://shrsl.com/2lzd8 (affiliate link)
Hook: 2.75mm / US1 steel hook / US C/2 yarn hook
Yarn needle
Sewing needle and thread to match
Leather: for the optional outer sole, 4/5oz Veg tanned, purchased at my local Tandy Leather store, but also available through their website https://tandyleather.com/collections/leather/products/copy-of-craftsman-oak-veg-tan-single-shoulders, OR
Upholstery weight pleather, available at most sewing stores that carry home favor fabrics, 1/8th yard
Felt: 1/8th yard of 72” wide felt or enough precut sheets to fit 4 sole pieces if not using a leather outer sole, or enough to fit 2 sole pieces of using a separate outer sole
Glue: rubber or other contact cement is my recommendation, but any type of non-water soluble, flexible dry glue would work. https://www.amazon.com/Elmers-No-Wrinkle-Rubber-Cement-Applicator/dp/B004USUE1S/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=rubber+cement&qid=1607454914&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&sr=8-3
