    I use green painters tape to mark the right side as I find pins sometimes get in my way

      @@JanHowellhi Jan, I have the pattern and excited to get started. My pattern doesn’t have the “square notch” that you mention in the video, will that affect it much? It has a regular triangle notch on that side

    Hello Jan, what a great instruction video. The slippers do look very comfortable and would entice me to wear them all day long. I am an old-time fashion sewist and really did think your explaining each step was precise. Thanks

    Hi Jan, your explanations are excellent. I'm a retired technical writer, and I commend the clarity and completeness of your tutorial.

  • @sus8e462
    @sus8e462 Před 4 měsíci +3

    Nice lesson--i have lots of old sweaters waiting for a new life! Though I don't recommend using pins on leather, since holes will remain, but when it's soft suede, it is less noticeable.

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks for sharing. Yes, fabric clips would be a better option.

    Awesome tutorial❣️ Thank you for your generosity. I have been stock piling felted sweaters and your patterns will be my go to for using them. I have also been purchasing used handbags for the leather. Perfect for the soles of these slippers. Happy New Year 🎉🎉

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 4 měsíci +2

      What a great upcycling idea for the leather. Love that you already have some sweaters to use.

    Thank you again Jan. You always show exactly what I need at exactly the right time. Showing alternate bottom part is perfect since I need non slip. 🎉

    Adorable Slippers, great instructions. thanks for sharing. FYI, on the sole chapter the video is duplicated, it shows the steps it twice.

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks. It may seem like that, but when following the steps in the pattern, when you add the lining, it may look like repeating.

    hello Jan Howell very nice slippers the last part hand sewing it closed did you have to hand sew it together or could have you used the sewing machine if you really wanted to??😊

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 4 měsíci

      You could, however you will see the stitching on the sole.

  • @meganthomas4778
    @meganthomas4778 Před 2 měsíci

    I think when you are turning them right side out you edited those clips twice into your tutorial. Nice pattern!

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 2 měsíci

      It looks like it because you have to flip it twice.

  • @davernew.305
    @davernew.305 Před 4 měsíci

    Thank you so much for this video tutorial! This is such a terrific slipper pattern and all sizes included! I'll be heading over to the pattern link to make my purchase.
    One question: When you sew using leather bottoms, do you use a leather needle or do you find that a universal works?

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 4 měsíci

      I use a denim needle or a 110 universal. Depends on the thickness of the leather. Test a piece first.

  • @karenduff3062
    @karenduff3062 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Would it be okay to sew a tacking seam to hold the top, overlapping area together first?

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Sure, however I've never had an issue with it. The pattern was designed to fit snug around the foot.

    • @JanHowell
      @JanHowell  Před 4 měsíci

      I go over some fabrics to use on the bottom that are non-slip, but I also have a specific video for that. Check it out here. czcams.com/video/NGpqLzW193Q/video.htmlsi=Xh8o6AYo1WYklUhN
