Felted Ballet Slippers Part 2

The knitting part was easy. I managed to complete all of the pieces with a minimum of ripping out. But seriously, does this look like a pair of shoes to you?




After blocking. No, I'm still not getting any kind of shoe vibe here.




Sewing the pieces together was painfully tedious. The yellow string is so I know which is the left foot. Hey, at least they sorta look like slippers now...




Um, slippers for a giant that is. They're just a smidge large.




I've owned this laundry bag for delicates for years, I might have even used it once. Finally found it useful.




Are you ready? You won't believe your eyes. A little bit of magic happened in the washing machine...

Ta da!!!




Okay, so they're still soaking wet (and probably will be for days), and the tabs and buttons are just balanced on top for now, (they get sewed on when they're dry), but HELLO, they're done! and they turned out pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. This picture is even somewhat close to the right colour.



And the fit? Perfect!
