To attach a flip flop sole to the slipper: 
See video instructions here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXCHgc9hwvA
Pull off the top thong section.
Put the slipper on, and identify the row of stitches which will be the sides.  Mark with safety pins.
With a darning needle, and strong yarn or cord, sew the slipper to the sole.
(If the person is not available, simply place the slipper over the sole, and see where it naturally fits, and sew along that line of stitches.  The slippers can be stretched, and re-arranged easily to fit onto the sole.)

 Preparing the flip flop soles:
Pull or cut off the top straps.  If you wish, fill the holes with silicone.  Smooth down with wet fingers.
If a darning needle will not easily pass through the flip flop sole, with a hammer and nail,
punch holes at ½ inch intervals.  Sew the slipper to the sole.

Share It Challenge

Emi has been busy working on new patterns to add to this free crochet pattern blog.  She's already got 6 here, and there are many more to come.  I'm sure you know it's a lot of work to design an item, create it, write out the pattern, make a YouTube video, create a blog post and share it with you all.  Phew!

Why does she do it? Because she loves crochet of course!  And she wants to share it with you!

She offers these great designs and tutorials to you for free!  You might be wondering how can you pay her back for all her hard work and dedication. It's easy!  Share her work with others.  

We'd love it if you would share this blog with your crochet friends,  through pinterest, twitter (#hectanooga), your blog, facebook, or any other way you can think of.  Lisa from Sweetpotatopatterns  got things started by throwing a message in a bottle.  Here's the video!



Thanks Emi!  You're the best!
