Slipper bottom fabric

I used to have a tube of goop that you applied to the bottom of slippers to give them more traction (and used it up). And since then, I've searched and searched (albeit, at TSWLTH and a tiny bit online) and haven't been able to find it again.

If anyone knows the answer to this, I'd love to hear it!! I have several pairs of slippers in my future! :)

I too have an old tube of the Grip-eze but evidently they have discontinued this product. There is another product made by Saf-T-Bak that is used to make rugs non-skid. I bought

16 oz at the local Michael's Craft store a couple months ago, can't find it at Michael's website, but here is another online source: latex rug backing has a texture and color of buttercream frostingand could easily be placed into a squeeze bottle to paint the dotson the bottoms of your slippers. Another thought, the Scribbles typefabric paint is rather sitcky skid-proof and may be used as such,though I would test it's slipping properties on scrap fabric first.HTH, Mickie

I've looked, Jan, but all I find is white. It just might be that you could use something else such as corduroy or that nice ultra suede. Both of them grip instead of slide and are quite washable. I still have some scraps of ultra suede in red if that's the color you're needing. Do you have a special production in the works? Polly

try

I bought some with navy feet shaped grippies on it. Also come with, red, blue, grey, purple, and white. Type "slipper gripper" into the search box.

I just had a thought ! ! !

What about that micro fiber that they make cleaning cloths out of?

It sticks to things and can be washed in the washing machine.

As I said it's just a thought.

If you're ever in the Coeur d'Alene area, check out the Lyle store. It's pretty neat. Lots of good stuff - quilt fabric, beads, outdoor fabrics, etc., etc. I spent the better part of an afternoon in there a few years ago. All the quilt fabric was on sale when I was there - I wanted all of it!

Replying to my own post - here's the link for the Lyle retail store (the link jennelh posted is their wholesale site) -

I have a great slipper pattern for babies up to adults and was thinking of makine slippers for Christmas using up some of my piles of stash, so actually, I would use the colors that went with the anti slip stuff on the bottom. Oh well, guess I will have to stick to white. (eck)

WOO WOO, Perfect. Thank you Marilyn

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions. I think I will get some slipper gripper in various colors.

Howdy!

Do you need our slipper sizes?

Care to share the slipper pattern or tell where you found it?

Absolutely!

It is easy to put together. I used velcro for the closure instead of a loop, it is easier, plus makes the slipper adjustible.

Ummm sure, I will put you on the list

You know, Wild Ginger has a free proggie that you can install that will give you the patterns to accessories like slippers, booties, thongs (the footie kind), hats, purses, etc. It's called "Wild Things."

I've been usin' it and it's great (NAYY) - it gives basic construction instructions, but IMHO, they won't make much sense unless you already *know* basic construction. And IRC it doesn't give yardage requirements, either.

Hugs!! Connie :)
