Saturday: Shop!—Handmade Christmas Project #5
Disclaimer: This is my second attempt at sewing, please follow Martha Stewart’s directions, not Vanessa’s. 
As soon as I saw these Felt Slippers in a Martha Stewart magazine I knew I had to make them. They are simple to make and the fabric is cheap. Do mine look like Martha Stewart’s? No, but I am proud of myself all the same.
The instructionscall for a sewing machine but since I am pretty sure my very old sewing machine is possesed I thought I would sew them by hand. Plus there is something calming about sewing, making something with your hands, therapeutic almost.
Check out our butterfly slippers:
I have enjoyed so far doing a Handmade Christmas….I do have one very big distraction….It is good she is cute, no?

They look great! You’ve inspired me to make some too. And thanks for posting your photos, since I prefer seeing what “real” people do, not a staff of trained professionals.
