[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Slippers

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Tracy, 
What is the difference in the 2 listings of commands?
I finally found the list!
What a mess!
I did find a few short tutorials, too!

Terry

Thanks Joyce.  The gripper stuff from Joanne's sounds perfect.  I'm better at sewing than gluing.

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.

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
