House slippers are a great gift! Handmade with warmth and love, they will warm the feet of you and your loved ones!
I sewed these indoor slippers for all my family and friends. I’ve already made about fifty slippers! I determined the dimensions experimentally, but it’s better to check before cutting.
Step 1. Cut out the details.
Details of the upper part of the slipper:
- On the left in the photo there are 2 parts - this is the very top, it can be cut out of some beautiful fabric, not necessarily very durable. I usually cut from faux fur (old fur coats are used!)
- The 2 central parts are the lining, it serves for warmth. I usually cut it out of thin batting, the kind sold in hardware stores; they also use it to wash the floor.
- On the right in the photo are the details that need to be cut out of fabric that will be pleasant to the body.
All details are cut out the same way.
Details of the bottom of the slipper (sole):
- On the left in the photo is the outer part of the sole, it needs to be cut out of thick, very durable fabric, I cut it out of felt. From the same fabric I cut out heels.
- The 2 central parts are the lining, it serves for warmth and softness. I also cut it out of thin batting.
- On the right in the photo is the inner part of the sole. It needs to be cut out of fabric that will be both pleasant to the body and at the same time very durable. This part begins to wear out very first, especially under the heel.
Don't forget to cut out the pieces for the left and right legs.
Also for sewing you need to cut out strips of elastic fabric 3 cm wide. It is advisable to use synthetic fabric for this, it is stronger.
Step 2. Pin together the top parts.
Step 3. We sew a line from the wrong side, thereby fastening all 3 parts.
Step 4. If the top part is made of faux fur, then you need to cut off the excess fur along the edge. Cut it boldly, don’t be afraid, the fur along the edge will still get in the way. You can also cut off the excess lining and, in general, trim the entire part.
This photo shows the piece trimmed (left) and uncut (right).
Step 5. Now we take a strip of elastic fabric, place it with the right side on the front side of the part to the inner edge and sew it on.

Step 7. From the wrong side, cut off the excess strip close to the stitching.
View of the upper part of the slipper from the wrong side:
Step 8. Place the inner part of the sole on the wrong side of our part, face down, aligning the central marks (indicated in blue in the photo). We pin it with a pin.
Step 9. Align the side marks and also pin.
Step 10. Now you need to sweep away the parts.
Step 11. We sew a line with wrong side, thereby fastening the sole and the upper part.
Step 12. Now again take the strips of fabric and place them right side on the front side of the slipper. The beginning of the strip must be folded (see photo).
Let's add a line:
End of line:
General form:
Step 13. Turn the strip onto the wrong side of the slipper and sew a “Multiple Zigzag” stitch. The slipper blank is ready.
Sewing slippers with your own hands is quite simple and it will take little time. Just follow our step-by-step instructions exactly.
Step 1
Draw the outline of the foot on a piece of cardboard. Mark 1 cm wide allowances around the outline.
Step 2
Using a measuring tape, measure your foot height at the top of the flip-flops. Draw a horizontal line along the top line of the flip-flops according to the measured height measurement. From its ends, draw a semicircle that goes around the contour of the sole. Also add 1 cm allowance. Transfer the lines of contours and allowances in a mirror image to another sheet of cardboard. Make 2 patterns separately for the top of the slippers and for the sole (symmetrically for the left and right legs).
Step 3
Cut out 1 piece each for the right and left legs from non-woven fabric for the top and sole, then cut 2 pieces for the right and left legs from fabric for the top and sole.
Fold and pin three identical pieces. Edge the straight edge of the top of the slippers with the finished bias tape.
Step 4
Sew the upper piece to the sole piece. After this, surround the sole with the finished bias tape.

Having a good pattern, you can sew comfortable slippers with your own hands, because this is a necessary thing in any home.
We will work with existing fabrics, we will not buy anything, we will use material from unnecessary old things, as well as pieces of leather from worn-out handbags or even boot tops.
In any home there will be skirts, jackets, drape coats that you would hate to throw away, but will never wear again. Usually they are lying around in a bag somewhere in the basement. At least that's how it is for me.
Even if you've been happily wearing them for a long time, there are always good pieces there. Let's give unfashionable, but still very good things a second life.
One tip: if you have an old wool sweater lying around, you can felt it in the machine, dry it, iron it - this is an excellent material for sewing homemade slippers! Once felted, it is no longer subject to shedding.
Here are presented, by and large, three patterns for cutting and sewing soft, cozy slippers with your own hands.
There are several more options for soft slippers with knitting patterns; by following the link you will find both crocheted and knitted, as well as varieties, for example, only with crochet trim. Slippers from an appendix to an old magazine, poor quality photo, but I’m convinced that the material is still relevant.
2 sewing patterns from Peasant Woman
Who doesn’t know, in Soviet times there were magazines for women called Peasant and Rabotnitsa. Frankly speaking, the name is not very good, but at one time they were loved by many. Recipes and patterns were given there. It’s a pity that there were no good color pictures, but we were glad that we had them.
Overall, the materials were very useful and the ideas inspired creativity. Since I recently came into possession of the files of this publication, I present something useful.
Using almost the same pattern, you can sew both regular flip-flops (without backs) and fully closed slippers.
The first model is more open, the second one has an original valve. Size 36-37. If a larger size is needed, then increase the pattern along the entire contour. If the leg is narrow, then increase only in length.
The simplest material will do, perhaps even one that has been collecting dust in the pantry for a long time. For the upper part you need corduroy, drape or soft leather. You can use thin fabrics: fold them in several layers and stitch them for density. It is better to make the sole from the leather of old boots or bags.
Inside the slippers you can put an insole of leather, fur, or drape.
Cutting details (1 piece each - this is for one slipper, without seam allowances, we will take it 0.5 cm):
- Valve
- Sole (cut along the inner contour of the bottom part)
Sewing order:
Cut out parts from the material. Process the top. Cut a slot along the inside for the leg. We either hem the inner edge or trim it with a beautiful braid or edging. You can also decorate it with fluffy fringe.
Next we work with the bottom detail. We cut out the sole separately and glue it with instant glue. Now you can connect the top and bottom parts. First, we tighten the top piece with thread along the outer edge. We do the same with the bottom part. Both parts must match the points from 1 to 10, which are written in circles.
They will look a little different - more gathers on the back of the top and the nose of the bottom. We sew them from the face.
You can make a decorative seam with leather or thick colored thread or lace. Or treat it with braid. One slipper is ready. Let's move on to the second one. Just remember that the pattern will be reversed in relation to the first one.
If you decide to decorate your slippers with original flaps, then cut out part 3. Finish the edge. You need to sew the valve along line 11-12. It is secured with ties attached to the point marked with a cross on the top part and the valve itself. The ties can be a continuation of the braid with which the edge is finished.
Option based on a pattern from Burda
The following method of sewing slippers for the house was proposed at one time by the magazine Burda. True, because of the pom-poms and the sharp, upward-looking nose, they look more like little slippers. :)
The pattern is simple, first you just need to measure the length of your foot - it should match the length in the diagram. Enlarge it in a graphics editor to the desired width and print it on a printer.
The black part is the sole, and the red part is the upper.
The picture below briefly shows the operating procedure. Light green indicates the lining - the inner part, and a colored pattern - the outer part.
Increase the pattern of the sole and top to 28 centimeters.
Description of work
- For each slipper, cut out two uppers from material and one sole from felt. To get shoes for the right and left feet, cut one sole as in the pattern, and turn the other over to get a mirror image. Do the same with the side parts - two along the pattern, two upside down. Additionally, cut out a fleece top and sole for each slipper. This will be the inner part, the lining. Don't forget a 5mm seam allowance.
- Place the sides of the fabric face to face, pin them together, and then sew them together. Press the seams in different directions. Repeat for the inner side elements (Fig. 1 and 2).
- Fold the outer and inner sides for each slipper and pin them face to face, sew along the inner circumference (Fig. 3). Make notches on the circumference with scissors, turn it inside out, iron it.
- Place the lining and soles facing each other. First sew on the sole, and then the seam on the heel (Fig. 4).
- Place the lining and sole together, right sides together, and stitch, leaving a small hole of 8 cm (Fig. 5). Connect the heel seam.
- Turn the slippers inside out through the hole left, then carefully sew up this hole by hand (Fig. 6).
- Make a pompom from wool and sew it to the slippers (Fig. 7).
We always associate slippers with coziness and comfort. After all, these are comfortable and sometimes warm indoor shoes, in which it is easy and pleasant to walk around the house. Today, stores offer a wide selection of shoes for the house, both warm and regular, for the hot season. But we will tell you how to sew slippers with your own hands!
Shoes can tell a lot about a person. About how neat you are, whether you follow fashion. Your shoes, sandals, and boots can tell you whether you suffer from diseases of the joints of your legs. But if the shoes that we wear to go outside or go to work must meet some standards, then you can choose any indoor shoes depending on your desires. We offer you several ideas on how to sew slippers with your own hands.
You can make many pairs of slippers for each family member and guests. The slippers can be different, or they can be made in the same style. Homemade slippers can also serve as a gift for a family member or close friend.
How to sew home slippers with your own hands. Instructions
In order to sew home slippers, you will need durable soft material. The material can be old items made of thick knitwear, drape, leather, jeans or fur. Before you start sewing, decide on the model and color, sketch out a sketch and make a pattern. It is very easy to make a pattern based on the shape and size of the foot by placing the foot on a piece of paper and tracing it. For example, if you decide to make homemade felt slippers, then making them may only take you half an hour.
To start, make a pattern as above, simply trace your foot, placing your foot on a piece of paper. Then, to the resulting drawn foot, draw two rectangles on the right and left, which will serve as a jumper holding the slipper on the foot. Once the pattern is ready, cut it out and place it on a piece of felt. It is enough to make a pattern for one foot, for example, the right one, its reverse part will serve as a pattern for the left foot.
Trace the pattern placed on a piece of felt with a pen and cut it out. Then connect the side parts of the jumper with each other into a ring, and try on the future slipper on your foot. Fix the jumper by adjusting it to the leg and sew. So you have a slipper. You can decorate it as your heart desires. Any decoration is suitable here: buttons, rhinestones, beads, fur.
You can also make fabric slippers at home. In order not to fantasize with the pattern, you can tear up old slippers that have served their purpose and make a pattern in their likeness. If there are no old slippers in the house, then make a pattern yourself, also tracing your foot placed on a sheet of paper.
What to make the soles of house slippers from?
Stores sell felt insoles with pimples. For the sole, you need to buy these insoles (price 36 rubles and 70 kopecks) and trim them a little along the heel and toe.
Then, using “Moment - 1” glue, place the sole on the sewn or knitted slippers and carefully sew around the “gypsy” needle with thick thread with tight stitches. You will get a beautiful and neat sole.
Advantages of a “bumpy” sole
- Felt breathes well and is washable;
- Durable “pimples” give the product an anti-slip effect;
- The inexpensive material is durable and abrasion-resistant, and the sole looks very decent.
And most importantly, you can make an excellent sole for slippers from it in almost 10 minutes!
If you don't want to use felt insoles as soles, look for another dense material. This can be several layers of thick fabric, leatherette, thick denim. After all, the main load falls on the sole, and if it is too thin, it will quickly fray and wear out. And walking in slippers with thin soles will not be very comfortable.
House slippers should be comfortable, light and soft so that your feet can rest after a hard day at work.
Today, various styles of slippers never cease to delight our female eye. We cannot pass by the beautiful house shoes, which are embroidered with crystal stones, decorated with sequins and rhinestones.

Using this pattern, you can sew similar house shoes, but come up with other ways to decorate. It all depends on your taste and ideas!
what are the shoes decorated with?
The fashion trend in 2017 was chic fur slippers and flip-flops with fur. The pattern of home slippers made of fur is simple: to do this, you can take an old fur coat from a fox (nutria or rabbit) and cut out four parts according to your measurements - two semicircle tops and two insoles (the process has already been described).
Then we carefully sew the upper parts of the shoes with the lower elements using special nylon threads. We cut out the soles of old slippers from leatherette and glue them to the insoles.
If you want to surprise your guests, you can decorate your slippers in an original way. Here everything will depend on your imagination. You should start from the general color scheme of the slippers; you don’t need to glue a large number of different decorations on them. Everything must be done with taste. For example, after you have made a pattern for house slippers, decorate the product with bows. Attach decorations to the sides of the outside of the boots. So, what else can you decorate your slippers with?
Elements for decorating house shoes:
- ribbons;
- stars;
- zigzag braid;
- floss threads;
- buttons;
- stones;
- embroidery;
- rhinestones.
In order for the decorations to sit firmly on the product and not fall off after the first wash, they should be set with glue or sewn tightly with thread.
