Today's master class is special for me, I went to him for a long time (author). Before I managed to come up with and work out the right and successful technology of manufacturing these slippers, I spent a lot of felt, fabrics, transfers, various test materials for the sole, and most importantly, working hours.
In general, maybe, of course, the case and in insufficient of my intelligence, but today I am finally ready to submit to the readers' court the result of all my torments - a quick, simple and budget way to sew original, bright, comfortable, and most importantly, quite good and wearing homemade tapul .
In addition to the pattern, it will take a light felt to transfer the transfer, any suitable (I had only white today) felt for insoles and, my main inspiration of this week is a cork sheet. In this case, 3 mm thick. Well, the glue, I liked to maximize the "moment of crystal".
First of all, we will transfer the pattern to the felt. Due to the fact that recently I began to ask more questions on the translation technology, I will allow myself a little more about it today.
To begin with, we will need to arrange the pattern face in the felt and heat the iron to almost the maximum temperature. We begin to iron a hot iron thoroughly, not passing the edges of the corner.
In my opinion, it is better to overheat a few iron and during ironing to notice that the felt began to be bred (this is not an instant process and you will always have time to weaken the heating, nothing terrible will happen) than to stroke the whole cold iron and get a fragmentary translated image, The most spoiling and pattern, and felt.
We will define for about a minute of the whole design, then cool it to a slightly warm state and remove the upper checkered layer of paper. The picture is translated.
Cut the parts of slippers without allowances on the seams.
Since the pattern I did the most universal, then the principle of "better more than less" was adhered to. Therefore, at this stage of work, I recommend trying it at least about and in the case if it is more than it is necessary, trimmed parties, as shown in the photo. The size of the top and bottom is, as a rule, there is no need to reduce, only in the event that it will be slippers for the kid.
Patterns for both slippers placing on a plate of felt. It is no longer necessary to take white, you can any color.
And add a semicircular suture detail. Only at the top edge.
Now cut the detail along the contour, getting a double top for future slippers.
Now we need a pattern for insoles. It is very simple to get it. It is enough just to circle your foot on a sheet of paper with a decent margin or just take any finished slippers that you consider the most comfortable and break the sole.
The insole is only requested, but do not cut out. It turned out to be more convenient to sew in such a sequence.
Now take a double top slipper. We take into two approaches, starting each of them from the middle of the sock.
The sour cream will be very easy to shoot the top. After executing the machine lines, you can pull the mixture thread.
Now slippers with the insole can be cut, retreating 2-3 mm from the edge of the line. The same is done with the second slipper.
Now the time has come to the final stage. We will make the sole for slippers. After a variety of searches for a suitable material, I stopped on a traffic jam. As practice has shown, this is quite convenient in the work material, very light. In the sock, it is very practical, especially in the proclarant. The tube has good shock absorbing properties and even the thin layer is sufficient to use slippers was convenient.
We take glue and as you can lubricate the bottom surface of the fetal insole. Adhesive, among other things, it will greatly stabilize the cork, reducing its fragility and preventing the possibility of cracking during the inflection in the future.
We glue the insole to the leaf of the cork. Cut it rather rude enough, just to have the opportunity to put clips.
The plug is glued well and quickly, after the glue is tightly grabbed, you can remove the clips and cut the slippers along the contour of the insoles.
You can stay at this stage of work or additionally snapped the perimeter slipper on the sewing machine. The plug is sewn very easily, despite the thickness.
That's all, slippers are ready. In the next photo, I tried to demonstrate that the plug, glued to the felt, was strong enough on bending.
Slippers turned out these:
