  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

‘vintage flair flats’ – house slippers

I got to spend the late afternoon in the studio this afternoon cutting fabric for upcoming projects and finishing these slippers.

I used fusible fleece instead of interfacing on the sole to provide a little extra padding.

I love the bright polka dots mixed with the subdued Hope Valley print.

The afternoon was beautiful, and since I was borrowing the table in the studio as a cutting area for the afternoon, I opened the door so I could listen to the birds and the breeze.  I really do love our house on days like this!

And a peek at a pretty stack of fabric that will soon be a bag:

Dolores - Love, love, love… the shoes, the house & most of all, the fabric stack!! What bag is it going to be?

Sonia - Is there a pattern for the slippers? They are so cute.

Susanne - I was wondering the same thing as Sonia!!! Those slippers are SO cute!!!!

Traci - It’s an etsy pattern: ‘vintage flair flats’. There’s a mary jane version as well as sizing for babies and little girls. 🙂 The bunny version is particularly cute!!

Jessica - Oooh, cute shoes! I’ve been looking at that pattern! How do they fit? Yours looks so comfy.
🙂

Jennifer - Love that fabric- especially the purple and the blue!

Amanda - Pattern PLEASE!!!! I love these and in desperate need of a new pair!
