WooHoo!! Congrats!! And you won't believe what I discovered whilst straightening my chaos...er...sewing room. I found a free baby bootie pattern that I had printed out!! I guess I could give it a try for you if you really want me to..even have some green dot minky type stuff.

Jo-Ann's carries what is called "Hospital sheeting", it is basically a flannelized rubber. May have to ask for it, but they should have it or be able to order it for you. We used to keep it at the cutting counter.
Pati, > Maybe Jeanne can locate it for you. It seems that I hunted a very long time

I like the idea of a washable bootie/slipper but the forms that can be made out of felt. I wonder.. do you think I could stiffen some fabric by backing it with a stabiliser - like Vilene or similar - so I could make cute slippers that were washable? I quite like the elfish booties with the pointed tops. I could see those with curly toes as well. Now that I have gripper fabric for the bottoms, I think slipper-making is in my future again.

If you want those elfin /wizard curly toes, you can curl them and then catch them down with a stitch or two to keep them that way! Vilene can be used for all sorts of washable clothing, as well as the tailored stuff, so it would be fine. . In message , Johanna Gibson writes
