Swiss Meringue Slippers
Designed by Rachel Brockman

PATTERN NOTES
These slipper boots are worked flat, beginning with the foot, which is worked from the toe up. Once the foot is created, seams are worked to form the shape of the foot. The cuffs are worked separately, then sewn to the foot using mattress stitch. Buttons are added on after seaming as the final step.
