My next project for Mom is going to be the doubled souled slippers by Kim Kotary.
The store bought slippers she has (most of the store's slippers are the same way) have a very thick spongy sole on them which I thought would be comfortable for her. Problem is, her feet slide to the sides of the cushioned soles and the edge of her foot hits the hard wood floors causing great uncomfortableness while she putts about the house.
I found the pattern for the double souled slippers and thought they'd be the answer for Mom's slipper dilemma and painful putting. lol. My only concern was that they would be very slippery on our highly glossed (gymnasium finish) hard wood floors.
I Googled my question about making the slippers non-skid and right away found this answer to my question!:
Plasti Dip is something used to make the handles of tools non-slippery and can be found in hardware stores. Just paint it on the bottoms of the slippers, let it dry and tada! That's it! yea!
Now that I know I can make the slippers safe for Mom I can't wait to get started on them!
