Kimono Shoes

Sorry about such a long absence it's been a crazy busy winter holiday.
I was looking at Pinterest (big surprise) and I came across some really cute quilted slippers and the link took me to a flicker page but I really liked them and wanted to find a pattern. Well quite a bit of time later (hours) I gave up the search for the flicker slippers and had started a new quest, kimono slippers. These I had stumbled upon while performing my original search and decided they would be cute and fun to make. I ended up purchasing from Etsy but after my purchase was directed to get my PDF from ithinksew.com

So after getting the PDF I was excited to start my new slippers. I don't want this to be a negative review but mine did not look as narrow as the ones in the photo and this annoyed me. They were perhaps too big? I made the next size smaller and yes they do fit a little better but still really wide. I guess these are sized for people with wide feet? anyway enough of my rant I may try to narrow them somehow at the tow but right now I don't feel like making a third pair. Has anyone tried this pattern? What do you think about the fit?

onto the shoes...


To be fair I thought I would add photos of them on my feet to get a better idea of the fit.
Excuse my lovely white sport socks.
 In the inner side of my shoes you can see the extra fabric bunching.



Thanks for reading♥
