These are great for colder mornings! I can’t wait to get started.

Slippers from old towels – what a great way to “use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without!” (an old saying from my grandpa). I can’t keep up with all the fabulous tutorials being listed here but I’m furiously saving, downloading and bookmarking! thanks to all the talented ladies willing to share! Keep them coming!…
This is one of the best resources. I’m SO glad I discovered your blog!!

My feet are cold ’cause I have no slippers. Sweet towel slippers for me coming up!!! This is very exciting!

What a great idea. The way my children grow making these shoes will save alot.
These are great! My husband has been begging for some homemade slippers, and maybe I can even make them in time for Christmas! Thanks for all the great references.
These are too cute!!! I have some grungy towels I LOVE…reborn as comfy shoes!
I never would have thought of sewing slippers, but those look fantastic!
I would have never have thought to make slippers – now I can even make some more suitable for the pathetic excuse for a winter that we get in California!
I am in love with Beth’s fabic choice!!

Towel slippers – brilliant! I’ve never seen these.
Make your own slippers — who thinks of these things?! What wonderful ideas. Very creative.
Great and super cute baby shoes. Having already made a stack of pin-cushions from one of the previous tutorials, I cannot wait to make a pair of baby shoes.

Such a cute pair of slippers!
I am in love with the cozy little cloth baby booties! Super cute.
Those cloth baby shoes are adorable! So many possibilities with fabric choices and they don’t look like they need much fabric. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all the work you’ve done putting this together, it is a great resource, and I have recommended it to many people. Perfect timing!
I would have never thought of these… thanks for all the info!
I love the baby shoes. I hope my local fabric store has the bonded fleece – or do you guys carry it?
Oh so adorable
Thanks for the tutorials!
Wow, I never thought about making slipper…….the wheels are spinning……LOL
That kids slipper pattern is perfect! I can’t wait to whip up a couple of pairs for my kiddos. ^-^
making slippers is on my to do list!
Thus far, these are one of my favorite items. Every member in the family could wear these. Thanks fro the tutorial! I appreciate it. Take care, Cindi
Thanks for the patterns. I’m looking forward to making slippers for Christmas. I have made slippers slightly non-skid using dimensional fabric paint in patterns on the bottoms. However, I just read this article that describes coating the bottom with silicon caulking. http://allbuttonedup.wordpress.com/2007/09/18/making-slippers-non-slip/
Very nice, I always have cold feet!
Letty
Those baby shoes are so adorable! I love the boot slipper pattern too!
Adorable baby shoes & I love Beth’s fabric choice!
there’s nothing i like so much as toasty slippers. I’ve made a pair from the Stardust tutorial and they turned out so cute. I’d love to make a pair of recycled slippers for me!
Oh how wonderful! I think I’ll have to make a few!
Well, I think those are so cute. And I’m all for recycling old thigns to make new. Holds a memory, and make is special for someone else as well. My 6 month with be getting some homemade shoes for sure.
I particularly like the recycled ones, and I appreciate the link to sew green – I’d like to start doing just that!

would never have thought to make my own slippers – you guys are fab
*eyeing my old towels, deciding which will become my new slippers*
I would have never thought of that!
