My feet have been all kinds of cold lately (getting old, I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️), and finding slippers in my size is a pain in the neck.

So I made my own from a #diy pattern.

I've still got to #sew the other one, but even #hand-sewn it's been less of a hassle than finding a pair that fit, so I'm going to call this one a win.

Making shoes! Got the leather cut out for these mid-calf soft elk leather boots. Based on a Alemmanic/Frankish/Anglo Saxon/Viking center seam design. They'll be pretty much like moccasins with a soft ground, tire rubber sole when I get done. Always try your shoe designs out in felt or blanket wool to test fit! You'll have slippers and a test pattern.These shoes are made of one piece of leather that wraps around the foot and has a center seam.

Recommendation to buy turnshoes? Not able to make them #vikingclothes #reenactment #TurnShoes
I finally got a good fit on one of Wife's new slippers! Now I just need to make the right match the left. These slippers are sewn inside out and then turned, in a medieval style of construction. The wool slippers are practice for leather shoes of the same patterns. #sewing #ShoeMaking #TurnShoes
