 <\/p>\n

So, it started with these. Well, with this one to be precise. And I loved it.<\/p>\n

\"grey1\"<\/a>But… do you see that seam curving up the side? Well, I loved that too. Until I realised that it would be exactly the same on its partner. Hmmmm. Which would make it look like two left (or right) feet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"grey2\"<\/a>\"grey-construction\"<\/a>So I tweaked it. But that didn’t quite work. Don’t get me wrong. I believe they’re beautiful. But I see their flaws all too immediately.<\/p>\n

I decided to attempt a little embroidery on them, in an effort to draw the eye from the seam. But now I just see beautiful, embroidered, flawed<\/em> slippers.<\/p>\n

So *shucks* I guess these ones are mine:<\/p>\n

\"grey-embell1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"embell1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"grey5\"<\/a> \"grey4\"<\/a> But armed with this experiment, I tweaked some more. And… Ta-dah!<\/p>\n

\"cream1\"<\/a> \"cream2\"<\/a> \"cream3\"<\/a>Of course, now the whole family needs some. So here are Teddy’s in a bit of a clog style:<\/p>\n

\"Ted1\"<\/a> \"Ted2\"<\/a> \"Ted3\"<\/a>I’m now experimenting with soles, so nobody breaks their neck on our wooden staircase.<\/p>\n

Will report back soon.<\/p>\n
