Got the socks/slippers finished, finally!

Finally finished up the socks/slippers out of fleece for my kids & their families who live in Indiana. Of course, it's warming up there now & they won't be needing them as badly as they did when I was there in January......oh well, I'm old and slow!

These are real easy to make; only 3 pattern pieces and I use the serger for all the sewing. It takes longer to cut them out than it does to sew them! I made 12 pair. Now, just have to get them to the Post Office today.

WARM FLEECE SOCKS FOR WINTER

My families' tootsies will be warm in a few more days.

When I was in Indiana to visit with daughter & son & their families, everyone was wanting me to make them more of the fleece socks/slippers. So, I drew around one foot from everyone on paper, brought them home, and have been cutting out fleece socks the last 3 days. 2 layers of fleece is thick & cutting them out has taken some time. Had to clean the scissors a couple times, and actually put a drop of oil on the hinge thingie, as fleece seems to dull the blades.

I have a bummer right arm that has had 2 surgeries for torn tendons years ago, so can't just cut, cut, cut all one day, as don't want to overdo it. There are now 12 pair of various sized fleece socks waiting for me to get out the serger and sew 'em. The measuring, laying out and cutting always takes longer than the serging....so hope to get them all finished today.

Sew......off to the sewing room. Maybe I'll post a picture later, so ya'll can see 'em.
