House shoes are increasingly gaining popularity.
It’s so nice to dive into warm, cozy fleece boots after a hard day. They will come in handy on cool evenings at the dacha or during battery outages. You can easily sew home shoes with your own hands; these can be boots (ugg boots), slippers, slippers.
To make ugg boots, the following warm material is useful:
- Fleece, velsoft, fur, felt.
- Insulation: synthetic winterizer, alpolux, batting.
- Sole: leather, suede, leather substitute, anti-slip fabric with rubber pimples.
- The threads are strong.
- Edging tape.
If desired, ugg boots can be decorated with ears, bows or in an ethnic style.
An easy way to determine your foot size
Take a piece of paper and trace your baby's foot with a pencil. By adding one centimeter to the contour of the resulting foot model for freedom of fit, you will get the desired bootie size. Calmly knit your booties using this pattern without bothering your little one with fittings.
If it is not possible to measure the leg, then we will give you approximate dimensions to help:
- 9 cm – 0-3 months;
- 10 cm – 3-6 months;
- 11.5 cm – 6-9 months.
Booties are something between a sock and a boot. Therefore, their appearance depends only on your knitting skills and flight of fancy. The boots can be knitted with a solid fabric, or with buttons, ties, or ribbons.
You can also combine dense knitting with openwork elements, use different textures in one product, add decor in the form of beads, knitted flowers and other decorations.
The main thing is to use small decor correctly and securely, so that the child is not tempted to tear off all this beauty while playing.
Knitted booties still remain the most comfortable, cozy, original accessories that convey to the baby the warmth of hands, the energy of love and care, maternal patience and vitality.

Types, models, preparation
Hand-sewn home clothes and shoes are not only original work, but also an opportunity to significantly save your budget. In addition, you don’t have to limit your imagination and use things that are outdated, out of fashion or have become small. You can also give unique slippers, accessories and other crafts to loved ones, friends, and colleagues for the holidays.
Before starting work, you need to decide on the model of house shoes. This will be the first stage. Easy to make with your own hands
- classic flip-flops;
- slippers in the form of boots with low tops;
- light moccasins;
- UGG boots;
- "bunnies".
Experienced craftswomen knit and knit slippers from sheep or goat wool. This is labor-intensive and complex work. For your first experience, it is better to choose a simple option.
The second stage is preparing everything necessary for work. The “kit” will include the main fabric, sole, adhesive pad (if the main material does not hold its shape well), threads (preferably nylon) and a needle, scissors, a sewing tape measure, a pencil and thick paper for creating a pattern, an awl, and fabric glue.
We make the pattern according to individual sizes. The number of elements depends on the selected model. For classic slippers without heels, these are two parts, for UGG boots – 3.
Stages of pattern construction
The pattern is ready-made, as in the photo below.
If the leg is not standard, for example, a wide foot, a high arch, a protruding bone, then the patterns can be built independently, according to individual measurements.
To construct the sole, you can outline the foot, the insole, or a finished slipper that fits the size.
Attention: if the foot or insole was outlined, then add an additional 1 cm around the circumference. There is no need to increase the sole around the slipper - it is already large.
Shoe sizes for small children from 0-36 months
To sew booties, you need to determine the length of the child’s leg for whom you plan to make the item.
Photo 1. Measuring the size of a child’s feet using a drawing on paper for future pattern construction.
If the baby is not yet firmly on his feet , the foot is measured using a string or a measuring tape . If the baby is standing on his feet, then you need to put a sheet of paper and trace the foot (both left and right) along it. to the resulting figure for seams .
Important! Foot length is measured from the heel to the end of the big toe . separately for each leg . If the stops are different, the choice falls in favor of a greater result .
Standard shoe sizes for a child from 0 to 36 months :
age (months) | length (centimeters) |
0-6 | 11 |
6-12 | 12,5 |
12-18 | 14 |
18-24 | 15,5 |
24-36 | 16,7 |
The baby's legs are finally only by the age of six . Children grow very quickly , and the size of the feet must be re-measured every two to three months in order to change the shoes from which the baby has outgrown.

Felt is the favorite material of needlewomen
To sew felt boots with your own hands, you need to prepare all the necessary material:
- half a meter of fabric;
- seamstress scissors;
- large needle;
- glue;
- a set of multi-colored threads;
- cardboard;
- pencil for drawing patterns.
It is recommended to find patterns on the Internet according to your foot size.
The pattern elements are sewn together in the following sequence:
- Use a pencil to draw the outline of the sole of the shoe on the cardboard. This will be the trace of one foot, the mirror outline is the trace for the second foot;
- the cardboard pattern is cut out and transferred to the fabric base with a pencil;
- parts with allowance are cut out;
Two semicircles are drawn on cardboard. This is the top part of the slippers in the pattern. When you sew a model with your own hands, the fullness and length of the person’s foot is taken into account for the pattern of boots.
- With a pencil, the details of the model are applied to the fabric - felt;
- patterns are cut with an allowance;
- only four parts will be ready;
- the upper part is sewn to the sole using a large needle and multi-colored threads;
- sewn parts are decorated with a patch;
- the second slipper is assembled in the same sequence;
- the work is done.
How do booties differ from regular boots?
- The boots usually have a high top.
- To make high booties easy to put on, you need to make a clasp.
- They imitate adult shoes - Ugg boots, boots, boots, sneakers, etc.
- Knitted from thick and warm yarn for the cold season.
- They can be either wool blend or fluffy yarn - polyacrylic, polyester.
Where to start knitting
The boots, like ordinary booties, are knitted from the sole. The sole can be knitted according to one of the following patterns:
In our articles you will find other options for sole designs. The size of the sole depends on the age of the child; in order not to make a mistake with the length of the product, follow the approximate size table for children's shoes:
Tip: knit booties - boots to size with a margin, because... Babies grow very quickly; before you know it, they will become too small for the child.
Choosing yarn
Depending on the season and your needs, we will have to choose threads for future booties:
- For winter and off-season, we recommend choosing wool mixture, wool with bamboo and acrylic. You can certainly purchase 100% wool and cashmere, but be sure to check first to see if they are scratchy.
- We recommend buying acrylic for warm autumn/spring, although some parents are sure that only acrylic is suitable for their child. Acrylic is recommended for children who may be allergic to natural wool.
- summer booties are knitted from cotton, but it is better to choose special children's cotton and cotton with additives.
- for premature babies booties - boots are knitted from 100% natural wool! We learned this unusual information at a charity forum. The prickly fur stimulates blood circulation and prevents the child from forgetting to breathe.
Whatever booties you choose, boots or shoes, they will definitely bring warmth and care to your baby!

What should be done:
- Take measurements of your feet and make a pattern on cardboard for the details of the UGG boots. Cut out the templates and transfer the contours to the smooth side of the material from which you are making the UGG boots, it is best to choose sheepskin.
- Cut out two semicircular parts of the toes, 2 symmetrical mirror soles of the UGG pattern and 4 for the UGG boot, leave a seam allowance of at least 7 mm. And from thick leather you need to cut 2 parts of the sole.
- Sew the parts of the tops of two boots, connecting parallel sides in pairs. Please note that the smooth side of the fur should be on the front side, and the pile should be on the back. However, make the seams along the front so that the left seam allowance strips create a beautiful edge.
- Sew semicircles of the toes of the shoes to the beveled sides of your boot. Along the edges of each sole, which are made of dense leather, you need to make a series of holes using an awl, and then sew them to the fur parts corresponding to them.

Product assembly
The main fabric of this model is fleece with a brown pattern, the lining is the same, only gray. Insulation – thin padding polyester. The sole is anti-slip “foot” fabric.
Sole assembly
Fold the layers of the sole in the following order: fleece, insulation, leather or anti-slip fabric. Stitch them together.
There are two ways to connect the sole to the main product: with seams outward or seams inward.
Processing with seams inside
The advantage of this treatment is a very neat appearance. Nothing is visible from the outside.
Negative aspects: due to the fact that thick seams are located on the inside, there is a decrease in space in the shoes and their size decreases. They can interfere with the foot when walking if the boot is not large enough.
The parts are connected as follows:
Important: the thickness of the sole layer is quite significant, so it is advisable to stitch this area manually or using an industrial sewing machine. A household machine may not be able to handle it.
Processing with seams facing out
The advantage of this treatment is that the foot in the boot is very comfortable, the thickness of the seams does not interfere with it.
Do-it-yourself ugg boots for babies up to one year old with patterns
Ugg boots are comfortable and practical shoes that are equally loved by both women and men. And no wonder. Natural Ugg boots retain heat even at the lowest temperatures, and yet they are very light, they are comfortable to move around in a snowy city or slippery sidewalks, and they are very easy to care for, especially when compared with shoes made from non-natural material. Traditionally, Uggs are made of sheepskin with the smooth side out and the soft pile inward. Sheepskin wool absorbs moisture well, keeping your feet dry. Despite the great popularity of these shoes, it is quite difficult to find them for a small child. And if you do succeed, then the “biting” price can discourage all desire to make a purchase. There is a way out of this situation - we can sew ugg boots for babies up to one year old ourselves.
How to sew children's boots from fleece yourself
Fleece shoes will come in very handy for kids. This is a soft, delicate and warm material.
The patterns are built according to the same principle as for an adult. But since children’s legs in most cases have a standard shape, you can take a ready-made pattern of a suitable size.
Sewing homemade fleece boots for kids is a pleasure. They are made in various bright colors, in the form of animals with faces and ears.
For very tiny ones, ugg boots are sewn with the seams facing out. For the sole, it is advisable to use anti-slip fabric or suede. Because they provide stability and prevent slipping.
The video will clearly show another way to create a pattern and sew house shoes.
Types of slippers for home
House slippers are currently available for sale in a wide range.
Only this item of home toiletry has always been expensive. Sewn by yourself, they will warm your feet just as well. If you decorate them, the model will be the author's work.
At the first stage, you need to decide on your preference in style:
- slippers with open heel and toe - flip-flops;
- model with a covered toe;
- slippers-boots;
- moccasins;
- knitted slippers;
- UGG model.

Description of boots
Cute and comfortable
Many of us have an old sheepskin coat lying around unnecessarily at home, which has long gone out of fashion. Or a piece of good sheepskin that hasn't been touched by moths. It's time to give these unnecessary things a second life. To sew shoes for a baby, even a small piece will do. It’s not at all difficult to sew such boots with your own hands, the main thing is to be patient and have all the materials necessary for the work.
Tip: If possible, try to choose sheepskin that is not very rough. Such material will be heavy and too warm for a child’s small feet.
So, let's start preparing to create the boots. To work we need the following things:
Beginning of work
The first thing we need to do is a pattern, which will consist of three different parts. The pattern can be purchased in advance at the store, or you can save money and draw it yourself on plain paper. The size of our product will be standard, for a child up to one year old. If your baby's foot is larger or smaller, adjust the pattern.
Our patterns are ready, now we apply them to the material and outline them with soap or chalk. You can also take a disappearing marker, it’s even more convenient to work with. Next we make a one-centimeter advance and cut out the part from the material. The dotted line on the pattern shows the allowance for adjusting the material during sewing.
Half the battle is done, now we need to form beautiful and comfortable shoes from the cut out pieces. We will start sewing the parts together from the point marked with the letter “A”. The dotted line on our pattern shows the fragment that needs to be sewn.
If you have thick, strong and beautiful threads at your disposal, the seam can be made decorative. That is, one that will be visible. The main thing is that the thread matches the tone of the material.
We take an awl and begin to make small holes in the material. This is necessary so that the needle can then enter the material more easily. It is necessary to pierce the fabric very carefully. Make sure that the distance between the holes is the same. Otherwise, the appearance of the shoes will not look as presentable as you would like. If you want to sew ugg boots with a closed seam, it is better to sew using a sewing machine. But it's not that simple. You need to have experience working with durable materials such as sheepskin. In addition, not every sewing machine can handle such a thickness of fabric.
Now we need to stitch the sole of the product. Make sure that the sole lies flat and adjust if necessary, otherwise it may warp the shoe. After stitching the bottom sole of the shoe, the largest part of our shoe should be in the middle of the sole. Now you can sew the back side.
To make the sole denser and more elastic, we need felt. We take our pattern and cut out four parts from felt, exactly according to it. We need four parts so that there are two for each leg.

Knitting with knitting needles
Knitting ugg boots for small children is very easy.
To do this we need to take:
The details of knitted ugg boots are sewn together in the same way as the details of fur ugg boots. For stitching, you can use regular thread or thread made from fine yarn.
In the image we see a knitting pattern for the sole. It should be made in two layers and crocheted.
We knit the toe and shin with knitting needles. Next, after creating our base, we step back, make a gap and knit the tongue of the boot together with the boot.
Tip: when decorating UGG boots, it is better not to use small decorative parts that could come off and fall into the hands of a child. An excellent solution would be to embroider or decorate the shoes with soft pom-poms.
