This free tutorial for Pullip Doll or Momoko Doll slipper and fair shoes is easy to follow. Begin by printing the Slippers Fairy Shoes Pattern. Although this tutorial explains how to create the slippers, the fairy shoes are created the same way. The only differences between the two sets of shoes are the shapes of the shoes and how you embellish the fairy shoes verses the slippers. Of course, both sets of shoes can be embellished any way you would like, particularly if you are planning to match a certain doll outfit.
What You Need Before You Begin
What You Need
Fleece: Fleece is sold in fabric stores primarily for making blankets, scarves and hats. You only need a tiny square for one pair of shoes. See if the fabric store has remnants first. If not, purchase as little as the store will allow, which is often 1/8 yard.
Fabric: For both types of shoes, use any type of fabric, particularly if it has a bit of stretch to it. I used microsuede for the fairy shoes.
Embellishments: For the slippers, I used tiny pom poms found at the craft store. This is where your creativity really begins. Use bows, buttons, silk flowers or any other items you would like.
Foamies 2mm Thick Sheet: Foamies come in many colors, and for this tutorial, I used black. Foamies are used for the soles of the shoes. Use whatever color you would like to match the fleece or fabric you have chosen. You can substitute fabric or card stock (heavier than traditional paper) for the soles.
Tacky Glue: Always a staple in my sewing room.
Toothpicks: Another staple in my sewing room. At least one toothpick (or something similar) will be needed to apply the glue.
Scissors: I have three types of scissors I use. One is a cuticle scissors, which is excellent for cutting the Foamies. Another is a small pair of scissors, but has a straight edge. My large scissors for cutting the fleece and fabric into a square.
Pen: A ballpoint pen will be needed for tracing, particularly when tracing the Foamies.
Sharpie or Other Marker: For tracing the pattern onto the fleece, I use a Sharpie marker. When tracing onto traditional fabric such as the microsuede mentioned above, use a gel pen. Gel pens don’t run or bleed into the fabric the way a regular marker does. You can also use colored pencils. Don’t use a ballpoint pen on fabric as the ink can remain wet over time and stain your doll.
Iron: You want to iron your fabric before you begin so that it is wrinkle free.
Sewing Needle and Thread: A few stitches in each shoe can be done by hand. Be sure to match your fleece or fabric.
