Use old felt hats for crocheted slip
per soles. Cut two or three pieces the
size of the slipper; quilt these to-
gether by machine, stitch a shoe lace
around the edge and sew your upper to
this lace; this will outwear any other
sole and costs nothing but a few min

childrens morning slippers and they
are still better if a piece of kid from
an old shoe is put on the outside of the
felt and stitched with the rest.-Cleye-
