[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Slippers

[blindhands at aol.com]

I have also heard of using chalk.  The stuff they use on tiles or windows.
All the hardware stores carry that.  You run a couple of lines on the souls
and let dry completely.

I have also used the gripper stuff that they have in fabric stores that you
use to sew in kids PHJs.  Joann's fabric carries that in packages that is
large enough to get a couple of pairs of slippers out of.  It is meant to be
sewn in , but you can use Tacky glue to glue it in place.  After it dries I
believe you can wash and dry it.

Subject: [NFB-Krafters-Korner] Slippers

I'm in a mood to crochet a pair of slippers.  I downloaded a book from
Bookshare, The Big Book of Slippers, and it looks pretty good.  It has basic
patterns for soles and tops, then a section of ways to decorate them.
Oddly, it doesn't have a table of contents, but still looks useful.

Someone recently was looking for ways to make soles less slippery.  Did you
select a way, and was it successful?  

I'm thinking the rubber paint they put on the bottom of hospital socks would
work, but I don't know where to get it, or if it's a pain to use.

Tracy
