Slipper Desperation

 Winter is in full swing and I'm desperate for slippers.  The kimono slippers I made back in October have gotten a ton of use and unfortunately, didn't hold up too well.



 I do really love the pattern, but it definitely needed an adjustment for my narrow feet.
 I pulled the insole out of my running shoes and adjusted the width of the base.  Last time I used grippy fabric for the base and within 2 months, I tore a hole through it.  So this time I did the sole in vinyl and made the insole with vinyl and fleece. 
 I made these slippers using fabric sitting around in my sewing room.  Hence the red soles.  We'll see how these hold up.
Nothing better than cozy toes on a cold day!
