On Tuesday we didn't sew our Sylvia's Bridal Sampler blocks as per usual, but another friend joined us and together we sewed some slippers....
They were finished comfortably within the day - even with chatter and giggles....
... of course we had to have a little bit of a play with the finished product....
.. they are all lovely and look so different ....
.. this angle of standing was quite a challenge for me - I had to hold on to people to maintain my balance...
Mine are the ones under the LIP letters - and I used William Morris scraps from my Tuffet ...
The pattern for these is called Snappy Slippers by Gerri Richards. I bought special non slip fabric for the base which I'm glad about as we have tiled floors and I really don't want to slip around on them.
I'm still stitching madly in the evenings and another Tea Time Teddy is completed - shhhhh don't wake up Sleepy Ted...
Righto, Gotto Go..... I have sampler blocks to catch up on so I better get a start on them.... I'm going to prepare the handwork to do this weekend when I join Wendy and other bloggers for our special Easter sew in ...
