Homemade flannel slippers, what could be cozier? After all, The Season of Cozy is upon us. Let’s learn how to make fabric slippers!
I wear my DIY fabric slippers daily.
These are non-slip slippers and they have a super comfy minky lining. I’ll tell you all about how to make them non-slip and how to make a sole, along with a free pattern, so you too can get cozy.
And I had fun making the Rolled Fabric Flowers we posted last week as little embellishments. Gorg, right?
Get the full How to Make Fabric Slippers Tutorial and Free Slipper Pattern below..
How to Make Fabric Slippers with Free Pattern
So you’ll need a few things to get started. You’ll need some fabric for the outside and the lining. I used pretty Anna Maria Horner Folksy Flannel Fortune in Marine, and this AMAZINGLY luxurious Minky – Moda Snuggles Whimsy in Butter (seriously the nicest minkee i have ever touched) as the lining. I think they look pretty cute together, right?
You’ll also need some 1/4″ elastic, less then a yard (for size 9 feet you’ll need 22 inches -2 pieces each 11″ long- to be exact).
Now, you can skip an insole but your slippers won’t be very comfy, so what’s the point in that. So buy a pair of these in your size: washable insoles.
And then to have a nice non-slip bottom pick up some of this (you can make about 3 pairs with this $3 package): Jiffy Grip.
1. So download the free slipper pattern and print it out here: Pretty Prudent Slipper Pattern. It’s for my feet which are a massive size 9. So to edit it, you can make them shorter by cutting a bit out of the middle of the sole. If you cut out an inch, then also cut out an inch on the length of the side piece. I hope that makes sense. But at the end of the day, these are slippers and they have an elastic top, so they are very flexible when it comes to sizing. You can also use a slipper or shoe that fits you to create your own pattern, using ours as a guideline. So get the Free Pretty Prudent Slipper Pattern here.
2. Now you need to trace and cut out your pattern pieces. For the sole you need 2 pieces in Jiffy Grip, 2 pieces in batting (or more batting pieces if you want them even cozier), and 2 of your lining (minky in my case). These slippers aren’t right foot/left foot just to keep it simple. Then for the slipper upper you need two pieces of lining and two pieces of outer fabric (flannel in my case):
3. Now grab one of your outer pieces and fold it in half right sides facing and sew up the straight edge. This is your heel:
Lay one piece of batting, then put your jiffy grip on top of it, right (bumpy) side up:
Then take your upper and pin it right side facing to the sole, through the jiffy grip and batting. Start by pinning the center of the heel, then the center of the toe, then the center of the sides, so it all stays nicely aligned:
Continue to pin, edges aligned, all the way around:
Sew near the edge with a straight stitch, then trim your edges:
When you turn it inside out it will look like this, you’ve made the shoe outer:
4. Now we repeat with the lining for the same foot. Fold the upper in half and sew the heel together along the straight edge:
Put the lining sole right side up, then pin the lining upper to it, right sides facing:
This time sew almost all the way around with a straight stitch, but leave the base of the heel open, backstitching at the beginning and end:
5. Now make sure your outer shoe is inside out:
And the lining is right side out:
Fit the lining into the shoe (now right sides are facing) and pin at the heel with the seams open:
Pin all the way around the shoe opening:
Sew in place at the edge with a straight stitch all the way around, then trim your edge:
6. Now reach in the hole in the lining of the heel and turn your slipper right side out:
We need to sew a channel around the top for our elastic.
So start on one side of the heel seem, back stitch, sew all the way around the shoe opening about 1/4-1/2″ down from the seam, stopping a little on the other side of the heel so there’s an opening to thread your elastic through like so:
7. Now grab your elastic (mine was 11″ – start longer then cut it if you need to after trying it on) and go through the hole in the heel lining to thread it all the way around the channel we just sewed:
Pull it out the other side through the opening in the heel. Try it on, see how long you need it to be:
Sew it together with a zig zag:
Push it back into the casing and sew the opening between your casing start and finish point closed:
8. Now pop open the hole in the lining of the heel:
Push your shoe insert in:
And sew the hole closed. You could slip stitch but this is the inside of a slipper, I wasn’t stressing the finishing details, so I just closed it with a straight stitch on my sewing machine:
Push your shoe back into place. Now make some rolled fabric flowers or pom poms or what-have-you for decoration (or none, whatever your pleasure) and sew them on.
Finished and it feels so good! So you’ve learned how to make fabric slippers. How do they feel?
Oh wait, I forgot to mention you have to start all over and make a second shoe. That’s the thing with shoes. And pillows. And earrings. So anyway, now that you know how to make fabric slippers, making another one will be easy. So do that. OK, now you’re done.
Cozy up!

Perfect gift for a baby shower! I need to make some for my vacation, I mean, my days in hospital. So pretty & love the roses!
THANK YOU JUCINDA!!!!i MIGHT BE 12 YEARS LATE, BUT STILL LOVE YOUR PATTERN AND LOVELY INSTRUCTIONS!!
The title to this post showed up in my google reader last week, and I was so disappointed when it wasn't actually posted yet. These are cute, and would make a great gift with an eye mask and other girly stuff 🙂
Beautiful!!! I think they would make PERFECT holiday gifts! hmmm….now, so many fabrics to choose from…
(thanks for the pattern!!)
FINALLY someone in blogland with big feet!!
Adorable! I am going to steal your idea and make tiny slippers for my little girl. So cute! Is that jiffy grip washable?
These are super cute! My Mamaw loves her slippers these would be awesome for her. Plus if she knew I made them that would make it even better for her!! =) I actually just bought some elastic last night so I just need a couple of other things and I can do this!!
Thanks.
Angie S.
After having my twins my feet were a size 9. Yikes! Finally an advantage to these "massive" feet-I don't have to resize this wonderful pattern! I'd love it if you'd post the pattern for Scarlet's when you make them. I'd like to make some for my girl, too.
If your size 9s are massive, what would you call my size 11s? The flowers on each slipper look great. BTW My father told me that larger feet are a blessing because they gave me a solid base so I wouldn't be blown away in a heavy wind! I live in the state of hurricanes.
ok now i am super self conscious about my giant feet. and yes, emily, jiffy grip is washable. it's awesome! great for making jammies and gardening gloves too!
How did you make yours larger? I am a 13 and also live in a hurricane state
Um, Size 9 is NOT MASSIVE! Be nice to Jaime and her clown feet. FYI, I'm a size 10.
Jacinda, you’re still in relatively tiny feet land – I wear a woman’s 14 1/2! Since these are nearly impossible to find unless you want 6″ heels (I don’t), I wear men’s size 12 1/2 socks and running/walking shoes. I finally bought a pair of comfortable leather women’s size 15 flats – just before that company went out of business. No mind, though, since I don’t own any feminine clothes such as (gasp!) dresses yet either. (Hopefully, eShakti.com won’t go out of business any time soon.)
So cute! I've been making my baby girl little felt shoes much the same way, but my sewing machine is broken so I've been hand sewing. To make them non-slip, I draw with puffy paint on the bottom.
I have tried the puffy paint thing, but it doesn’t work for a no slip grip on my daughters shoes. do you have to sand the puffy paint after it dries?
.
i love these, and i can't wait to make a pair of ostentatious ones for my mom this christmas!
Those look great. I may have to make some for Christmas for my daughter.
love this idea! thanks for sharing the tutorial. =)
Yeah!!! Thank You so much for this tutorial! I want to make some pairs for my daugther to use at the day care. Here in Finland we don't use shoes inside the places, but the day care is cold and wearing just the socks is not enough… I think those slippers would be perfect for she use there.
Love these slippers! and its a great tutorial too!
Very easy to follow..makes me want to go right out and get some fuzzy fabric and make a pair right now. Thanks so much for sharing!
i loved this pattern, but the size 9 is small!
These are so cute and seem so easy. I'd love to give them a try! Great job!!! 🙂
THESE are awesome, I will make a few pairs for myself and for gift giving 🙂 LOVE wearing slippers like this, i am wearing a pair right now as well lol 🙂
brilliant tutorial! These are great!!!
These are awesome! I have been wanting to make some slippers for my daughter. I have a question though, her feet are very tiny so I don't think I can buy insoles for her. Could I just use extra layers of batting? What type and how many layers of batting would you recommend?
hi Anna – so for baby feet i recommend crafting foam cut into the sole shape. not sure if you can wash it though? if she's not walking a bunch of layers of batting should do the trick
i love how they're ever so slightly retro feeling…but entirely adorable. can't wait to *try* to make them! they're perfect for a craft swap my friends and i have coming up!
I cannot wait to make these! I hope it's alright that I shared your link with my readers this morning. 🙂

Have a terrific weekend!
Amy
SO CUTE! And I'm extra super excited because I have massive size 9 feet like you, too. The better stability, my dear, right?
We just love this project at http://www.WeAllSew.com, and we are adding it to our list of favorite project links this Friday! Please let me know if you have any questions about being a featured project at WeAllSew.com – Erika
Best ever tutorial for homemade slippers! I never comment anything, but this time I`am making exception.
Ana
I love it! but how do you change the size, esp to a childs foot?
SUPER cute. Would be such a cute giftie item for baby shower or whatnot. And yeah, I'm size 11 too! Tough to find cute slippers in my size, so now I can just make some. 🙂
loooove this and plan on doing these and the eye masks for all the ladies in my family for their b-days this next year. one question – where did you find the slipper insoles?
I finally made a pair 🙂 …size 9 is too small for me so off to my cousin they will go! Now to figure out how to send you a picture!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This tutorial saved my sanity, I'll be linking to it in my post tomorrow! Francesca
Hi, Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. This is my version.

Denise
but weres the pattern
Ooh very cool – and my size! 😀 Here's my interpretation.. (because I have no idea about this Jiffy stuff and hadn't had a chance to look for it)
http://shelikestosew.blogspot.com/2011/05/warm-feet.html
Thank you! My feet are awesomely warm now 🙂
Hi there, hoping you can answer my question. Am working on a pair of these right now and, I may be missing something, but I don't see that you've mentioned what size seam allowance is built into this pattern anywhere. It looks like 1/4 inch?
Love these. I've made two pairs already. It was quick and they are great for using left over fabric!!
I love this. I share it in my blog here and link it back to you http://krasart.com/2011/02/28/%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%84%D0%B8-%D0%BE%D1%82-www-prudentbaby-com/
I love this!! I made one for my husband and he love it! Thanks for sharing this pattern! Kisses from Brasil!! Elaine

The link to the pattern isn’t working.
I have given your templates to my class of 10 year olds and they have been having an amazing time creating slippers! Thank you!!!
These look so cute and easy! I’m very new a sewing so I have a simple question: How much material did you buy for this project?? One yard, etc? I’d hate to guess and be very wrong. Thanks!
Now is the season for making the slippers since it will soon be getting cold. Thanks!!
I absolutely love this tutorial! Thank you so much!
I was so excited to make these slippers, but no matter what I do or how hard I try I cannot bring up the actual pattern.

Great tutorial!
I just had to pin it: http://pinterest.com/pin/246079567111121869/
Just made these for a Christmas present but the pattern is a little off, at least the way I did it so I would recommend you make it about half a size larger than you think you need it so you will save a lot of trouble like I did!!

I can not wait to make these for myself. I use to have a pair that I loved, but they wore-out and I have not been able to find in my size 10. found this on pinterest. Thank you for the great step-by-step.
The tutorial for this project made these slippers a joy to make. I commend the teaching skills of the designer. Many people claim to offer easy instruction, but skip or eliminate steps that can often confuse the most experienced seamtress. I am a beginner sewer and I appreciate the time and consideration taken by a good teacher. I made these slippers in an evening and wore them the same night. When I showed my 78 year old dad my finished product, he smiled like a proud papa. Plan to make them as gifts for friends, family, and charity.
thank you so much! what a wonderful comment to read. i am glad your slippers turned out so well and your feet are cozy!
Absolutely brilliant! Not only that, but they pretty, cozy, sooo “YES”!!!

I am having trouble getting the regular pattern to come up to download/print it. The baby slippers downloaded fine but the link to your regular pattern does not. Please email me a correct link or the pattern if you could please! I would love to make some. Yours turned out really cute!

Adorable!!!
I just made these and love them! I think I am going to make an extra pair (or 6 🙂 ) to toss in my car for the drive home from work after a long shift on my feet all day at the hospital! The only part that I stumbled on a little bit was the seam allowance for the heel on the upper and lining. I found that 1/2″ worked best to match the size of the upper to same size as the lower.
why cant this be downloaded directly as opposed to going thru another program
These are the best slippers I gave ever made have made for grandchildren and have two pairs so when us washed have others even my daughter said gers waits for her when she walks in on they come thank you so much for a brilliant pattern and helpful pictures as well
Omigosh !! I have a couple pairs of fabric slippers I bought two years ago and they are my favorites, but since they are becoming worn I have wanted to replace them with my own fabric creations. You have made my plan SO EASY with your fabulous pattern !!! Now I can make as many as I want – great for stocking stuffer gifts at Christmas too. Thank you so much !!!
Thanks so much for the pattern! I had to tweak the pattern a little for my size, but they turned out great. The pictures helped a lot!
this is great. I am sure the fabric exchange has so many choices of fabric for this kind of project.
Where is the free pattern download? I’ve been through this page 10 times and all I get to download are pdf converter, or some other program that I don’t need. Love to have this pattern if I could get it.
Same problem as Kathy, when i click on where to get this pattern – i go in a silly circle of ending up on the same page, again, and again , and again . . . . . . .
What is the seam allowance? And is the seam allowance in the pattern or do you have to add it? I used a 3/8 ” seam allowance and cut the pieces exactly and ended up with a size 7??
cant find the pattern
The pattern is on google docs, which is free but you do need a google account to access it. The link is here! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3vYm2SdCUn3MDQ0ODczNTMtZTcwNi00NjBiLTg1YzgtM2Q3YWJiYjViYTE4/view?usp=drive_web&ddrp=1&hl=en#
Thank you so much for this amazing pattern. I no long will need to buy slippers.
So happy I can try to sew my own slippers! I bought some similar ones at the store and I just love them. Then I thought maybe I should try making some of my own since I have way too much fabric. Now to decide which pattern to use…
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COSY PATTERN WORLD.
What is the seam allowance for these slippers?
What a life saver I use Flannel on the inside it wicks water and since I have hyper sensitive feet only natural material can touch my skin so very glad I found this so I can make my own 100% natural lining slippers!
This fabric Slippers looks wonderful!
I first found this pattern during lockdown 2020. I needed new slippers, but wasn’t allowed to buy them from the store. I have since worn those completely out and made several more pairs for myself and my mom. I like to use old denim from pants or skirts. Makes these practically free for me to make plus I think the old denim is more durable and adds character. I like to line them with either old flannel or old t-shirts so they are super soft and comfy. These are now my go to slippers. I have no plans to buy store bought slippers again. Thanks for the pattern and inspiration.
