Sizing. You said you added an inch to the pattern and your second and third would be a bit bigger. I am a 9 1/2 so adding an inch should be enough to add for my foot. Plus, your size is a good reference point for anyone else looking to make these their size. Thanks for the great next project idea.Originally Posted by JohnSawyer

I want to get a pair for backpacking just to scoot around camp. Maybe I'll make them too.
I'm off to bed... but I just finished them! I had one oops... I managed to flip them right side out to check fit, then sewed the sole on... sigh... but it turned out good. I will take some pics tomorrow....

Hey dude, did you ever take some pics of those down slippers? I have an extra oz of down here and I'm thinking about making some down socks for cold night sleeping.

Here's the pics! These turned out better than I had hoped. Tons of loft, and the PVC coated bottoms and CCF pads are comfortable to walk on...

They really do look awesome dude! How is the fit for you?

Great job John!!! I love them
Very cool. I like how they form around the ankle. And a mistake turned into a plus. Great job.
Enjoy and have fun with your family,before they have fun without you
They fit great. The only thing I would do different is to switch to 1.1 inside, allowing the down to loft better. Also, I sewed through the top of the foot, so there's a line that could be a cold spot. For V2, I'll sew those layers separately, then I'll have no seam against my foot.
The sole is a piece of CCF with some fleece spray-glued to it for comfort. I'm really happy with how they turned out.
Only, I have 3. The first being too small so I never made a mate... Anybody have 1 cold foot?
