a new flip-flop for zee Mister

because he made me a lovely dinner.
because he is such a sweetheart.
and mostly just because.

Having always been a fan of those cute japanese inspired flip-flop, i attempted to make one for the Mister at home ~ so we could flip-flop around the apartment. You might recognize the fabric from this post about almost a month ago.

The polka dots japanese indoor flip-flop above is finally finished. It took me a little longer to make because i encountered some challenges along the way. My love of polka dots and flip-flop helped me to move forward and try, again and again. I'm glad i did. The best part though is knowing the Mister now have a comfy flip-flop to wear in the apartment ~ that's satisfying.

I hope your weekend was fun. I certainly had a good one. It was not only filled with crafting, but a smashing dinner with the best shiitake mushrooms ever, and several hours spent watching a couple of dvds. A good weekend indeed. Have a lovely merry happy week! Love to you and yours!

They are so pretty! I've never seen these type before - I love the fabric! Sounds like you had a lovely weekend - all the best for the coming week ahead!

Those look really comfy and I do love the polka dots. Are they slippery on wood floors or do you use some kind of tread on the bottom?

Hi Jacqueline, glad to hear that you had a good weekend! That flip-flop is simply lovely. Very fortunate Mister; now he gets to wear this lovely gift of love around the apartment. Have a lovely merry happy week ahead and love to you!

Dearest Amber, i didn't use any tread at the bottom. We were careful when he wore it the first time and we were cautions when climing up wooden stairs. It wasn't slippery. So far so good. Love to you!

Dear Dempsey, they are made from cotton fabric inside out. I've used a 7 mm - 8 mm acrylic cord as the foundation but i'm planning to use polyester cord for the next one. The fabric are then weave together with the cord acting as the structure of the flip-flop. Love to you!

They look comfy, like the texture of the gathered fabric would feel like a foot massage.

(and you used my favorite colors, too!)

Dear Dana, they are weave together with a acrylic cord as the foundation. I guess i could also call it knitted together {without using needles and hooks}. :) Love to you!
