Hello and Happy November! This month we're going to be featuring (and celebrating!) the Quilted Slippers pattern with an email-style sewalong. I released this pattern in 2020 and, to my surprise, it’s been one of my most popular patterns. The slippers make great holiday gifts so November is the perfect month to start sewing them.
For this new sewalong, I’m going to be making two new pairs of slippers (one bootie style and one skimmers style), answering some frequently asked questions and trying out some new ideas. I’m hoping that it will be helpful, informative and inspirational. (Spoiler alert) I’m going to be working on maximizing warmth with extra layers of batting, attempting a leather sole and some decorative patchwork.
When you sign up this new email-style sewalong, you will receive a series of six emails sent November 11-18, 2022. (If you find this post after those dates, you can still sign up and the email series will start immediately.)
Check out the schedule below to see if it’s something you’re interested in. You can unsubscribe at any time.

The Sew DIY Quilted Slippers are the perfect way to keep toes warm and use up small cuts of fabric. Plus, it’s a great way to introduce yourself to quilting. The quilted exterior is constructed by quilting a layer of fabric and batting together. You can also use pre-quilted fabric for a quicker project.
The slippers are sized for foot lengths 8.25-12 inches (21-30.5 cm) which approximately fits US women’s shoe sizes 4-14 and US men’s shoe sizes 6-14.5. The pattern is gender neutral making it a great gift for all your friends and family.
View A is a bootie style slipper that can be worn with the top turned down to reveal the lining or with the top up to keep the ankles warm. View B is an open top skimmer style, perfect for the summer months.
This is a digital pdf pattern that includes a print-at-home pattern, copy shop pattern, A0 pattern and illustrated instructions.
THIS IS NOT A PHYSICAL PRODUCT. After checkout, you will receive a link to the pattern that will be active for 24 hours after you click it. Prices are in USD.
You can sign up for the sewalong using the form below or by clicking here. If you’ve found this page after November 11, 2022, you can still sign up and the email series will start immediately. (If emails are not your thing (totally understand), some of the info included in the emails will eventually make it to the blog as well.)
I’m really excited about this sewalong and to try out a few new slipper things. I hope you can join!
P.S. If you want to get started right away, there are already a few posts in the Slippers Sewalong.
