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!
tutorial please?? hhehe... it looks so "crisp" :-) love love it!

Dear Grace, a tutorial did cross my mind but i'm not sure if i would be able to pull out a good turotial for this as the steps are quite tedious. But i will definitely keep this in mind when i make my second flip-flop and try to come out with something. Thank you so much for your kind words! Love to you!

Dear silky, they were a tad bit tricky to make. But i'm pretty sure once i get the hang of it ~ it will be very easy and perhaps later i could be confident enough to make a little tutorial for it. :) Love to you!

I am so impressed that you can just 'decide' you are going to make flip flops, and then actually succeed in making them! I remember those polka dots, love that fabric. And the finished product looks super squishy and comfy. Nice job!
