Don’t Scream, It’s Time To Seam
If you've always avoided seaming and even always knitted projects in the round just to avoid seaming, the next step of this project will help you seam fearlessly starting now.
You'll first prep your seams with scrap yarn so that you'll know exactly which edges get folded and seamed together.
Next, you are going to use Mattress stitch to sew your long Garter-stitch strip together, block by block.
This technique will help you in the future, when you want to make a sweater with set-in sleeves, for example.
Head to Chapter 4 - Seam Your Slippers to watch my in-depth videos about how to fold and seam every edge of these slippers.
By the way, your slippers will be HUGE after you seam them. This is normal! They will shrink down when felting.
Lastly, in this chapter I encourage you (and show you how) to weave in all those ends without delay once you get your huge slipper seamed up.
If you get stuck or have questions, comment on this lesson and let me know!
Today's Step to Get Involved:
Leave a comment below and let us know if you were able to fold your slippers correctly and if you have any questions on Mattress stitch!
In a week, I'll send you an email walking you through the fun felting process, plus tips for decorating your slippers.
