Suggested Fabrics

Exterior: Wool fabric, wool blends, denim, cord or other fabric with reasonable structure.  If you use a softer fabric such as fleece, it will create a more slouchy boot.  You can also use woollen blankets and felted sweaters for the exterior of your boots.

Lining: Cotton, flannel, and fleece are all suitable.  You can also use fluffy fabrics such as sherpa or shearling; however, you may need to go up a size.

Insoles: Soft, comfortable fabric, such as wool from blankets or felted woollen sweaters. 

Sole: There are many sewable non-slip fabrics designed specially for shoes/slippers, and using one of these is a simple option.  Upcycled options could include leather or suede.  Denim or warmer, thicker fabrics could be suitable with the application of paint-on latex or another similar application to reduce slip.

Ears/antennae: Non-fray fabric such as felt, fleece, suede, or leather. 

Fabric Requirements

You will need the following amounts for BOTH the exterior and lining fabrics:

Other Supplies & Notions

• Spool of coordinating thread.
• 6-8 binder clips/wonder clips/small pegs or something similar if using leather or suede soles to prevent pin damage to the leather.

• Embroidery thread or yarn to stitch the facial features.
• Hand sewing needle to stitch the facial features.
• Leather sewing machine needle if using medium or heavyweight leather for soles. 
• A water-soluble or erasable marker to mark the features (optional).
• If using heavier-weight wool fabric, you might benefit from using a walking foot.
