Slipper sizing

In my Etsy shop

Here are my slippers sizing for babies, infant girls and women in sizes I am able to manufacture at the moment. There is a gap between some age group but I'm working on to fill it with some new pairs of beautiful shoe lasts.

Please pay attention on insole length given below. It is accurate. The foot should flush to the wall while measuring. 
Tips and advises are welcome :) 

Lets talk about the soles

In my Etsy shop

I have been searching the ideal slipper soles material for years. I tried natural latex liquid that was easy to apply but totally unsustainable product. It ribbed off easy and got dirty after short.

Then I started using leather that was fine until first washing. I also tried out some micro-porous sole sheet, that has to be glued to felt with help of toxic glue and sewn after. Toxic glue was not the material I wanted to work with at the home with to my girls playing around so I kept searching.

Today I'm using a kind of silicone liquid that has no odor and the label say its truly safe. Of course I had to play whit it for a while until I learned to finish my slippers quite pretty. The negative side of material I'm using now is being slippery on wet surfaces.

So I suggest my clients do not forget they are buying indoor footwear. The soles are made to be stable on dry surfaces (it really woks on it well), but it's not a good idea to walk around the pool or wash the floor with wet wet mop and then walk on these wet floor. It would be uncomfortable.

And I'm still do not give up searching for something even better...

Even More Glitter! / Dar daugiau blizgučių!

Felted Slippers in my Etsy shop

I finally really started making felted ballet flats no only for little girls but for women as well. One of my returning client even started thinking of wearing in her office. Why not? Go ahead, I said.

Particullary these are made of natural Tiroler Bergschaf. I really love whis sort of wool because it felt perfectly and wears nicelly.

Glitter glitter! Sparkle sparkle!

Enjoying cool summer in the middle of Vilnius city and working on new sparkle collection for girls and women. Many more ideas in my mind and it looks like there are more to felt then time I have. 

Lucky me, my girls love kindergarten, so I can breathe the fresh air in may balcony... or not so fresh (depend on imagination) and work hard, and tender after the coffee/home made crème brûlée break.

Ar žinojote, kad berniukų mamos yra dažnesnės klientės, nei mergaičių? Be to, berniukų mamos dažniau renkasi kedukus blizgiomis nosimis, kai mergaičių mamos dažniau baidosi blizgučių bei rožinių spalvų! :)Bet kaip smagu, kad mažieji klientai neatitinka stereotipų ir yra tokie unikalūs <3

Did You know? I have more clients among boys than girls. Moreover, boys moms frequently choose booties with glitter! And girls mothers more likely try to avoid glitter and all pink shades! It's all much different as I imagined at the beginning but it's so sweet that each of You are so unique <3

Waiting for Blooming Season / Žydėjimų Belaukiant

In my Etsy shop

Heritage roses, peonies, ranunculus mmm are flowers I like the best and longing for it. So such a romance inspired me to make something soft mild.

Turbūt pačios mylimiausios mano gėlės yra senoviškos rožės, bijūnai ir vėdrynai mmm. Jau ilgiuosi žydėjimo, taigi šitai įkvėpė sukurti kai ką romantiškai švelnaus.
