- For easiest construction, use a Cuddle® 3 or a Luxe Cuddle® such as Chenille, Weave, Brooklyn for the outer slipper.
- For the lining, use a Cuddle® 3 for the sides (the U-shapped piece).
- For the sole lining, you can do all sorts of things: use a Cuddle® 3 by itself, adhere Cuddle® 3 to Soft and Stable® or batting, use Luxe Cuddle® Sherpa or Luxe Cuddle® Llama.
- If wanted, you can add embroidery detail to the front toe of slipper prior to cutting or add a ribbon after sewing.
- Don't use batting in the smallest sizes; it's unnecessary.
- Hand sew the opening at the ankle on the children’s slippers. Use a running stitch and circle the ankle twice, being careful not to gather the opening at all.
- Add a little ribbon at the back of the ankle opening to make it easier to pull over the heel.
- Mix and match the Luxe Cuddle® and a Cuddle® print for a fun look.
