Hi, I am really a dark sider, but was thinking about making baby slippers like you used to get years ago. We called them Padders 25 years ago: simple elasticated at the ankle , pull on bootees made of fabric, often with contrasting lining which sort of folded over.

Does anyone have a free pattern link?

Thanks.

Oops, sorry Imi, maybe this is an accessory, but don’t know how to move it.

These have a popper fastening but are much the same thing. Forgive all the ads, just keep scrolling and you'll find it's all there.

If they're not quite right, here is a long list(with photos) of free baby shoe patterns.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

Great, thanks.The dragon slippers tutorial is just what I was looking for. I couldn’t find anything online :it’s a great wee project for using up little scraps.
