Happy Holidays, Pirate Friends! We are excitedly back for another year and another round of holiday freebies to share with you! Over the years, we’ve compiled different tutorials and patterns that we think would make *perfect* gifts for your friends and family. Curious about what we’ve already released in the way of holiday freebies? Head right here to see all of them: Holiday Freebies Roundup.
Today, we are bringing you the: Shiver Me Slipper Socks!
My feet are ALWAYS cold in the winter. And big, fluffy slipper socks are pretty much my favorite thing ever to help combat the cold. It’s been on my list to make this pattern for a couple of years now and I’m super excited to be officially bringing them to y’all!
Supplies Needed:
- Shiver Me Slipper Socks pattern pieces
- less than 1/2 Yard each, Lining + Main Fleece Fabric
TUTORIAL
Fold one of the main Sock pieces in half, with right sides together. Using 1/2″ seam allowance, stitch along the curve. Open the sock up to create a straight line with the seam you just created in the center of that line. With right sides facing down, place the toe piece on top, matching along that straight edge. Sew using 1/2″ seam allowance. Mark toe front and heel back with pins/clips. With right sides facing each other, place the sole piece on top, aligning the front and back markings. Pin/clip pieces together, carefully easing the curves into one another. Using 1/2″ seam allowance, sew around entire outer edge. Repeat with lining fabric. Flip the main boot right sides out, keeping the lining piece with wrong sides facing outward, then stuff the main boot inside of the lining. This will allow them to have right sides of the fabric facing each other. Align the raw edges along the top. Sew, using 1/2″ seam allowance, while keeping a 3-4″ opening for turning. Turn fabric right sides out through the opening you left. Push the lining fabric into the main fabric. Either by using a blind stitch in the opening, or top stitching around the entire upper edge, sew the opening shut. Complete all steps for second slipper. You’re finished!
I left enough height on these slippers so you can wear them folded, for a cute cuffed look, or unfolded for a taller sock. Your choice! I’m excited to see what you prefer!
In case you consider yourself a more “visual learner” here’s a video tutorial that walks you through the entire tutorial, start-to-finish.
Check out what our fabulous testers were able to create with this very same tutorial!
I la-la-love when you share your photos with me! Head over to the Patterns for Pirates Facebook Group and show us what you’ve made!
Happy Holidays, Pirates!
What is the sole made from?
I used a fabric called “grip stop”. You can find it in the utility section at JoAnn Fabrics.
