Slipper(y) sewing

A while back, I found a fab tutorial of Heather Baileys on the world wide web and I thought I could perfectly adjust it to my size. So I enlarged the pattern and it looked like this.I decided that I wanted an anti-slip sole so I used anti-slip material for the sole and soft towel fabric (don't know the word in English) for the inside.
Then I put my foot on it to see it doesn't work like this. I'm not blond but I just don't have cute little babyfeet... A whopping 39 (US size 9) is what I have so it didn't really work out the way it was in my head! LOL
But how cosy do they really look? I love 'em and I really wish I could find a fun pattern to sew my own slippers. These small Itty bitty booties will be for a special baby...So if you know any good slipper patterns that use fleece or other soft fabric, please don't hesitate to share as I really want to sew my own slippers. And who knows, perhaps I even make you a pair too! :)

Hi
There is a tutorial on the web for making dragon slippers for boys where you draft the pattern yourself, so this should work for adults too.
The link is: http://www.made-by-rae.com/2011/02/tutorial-by-ra...
Hope this helps

That seems to be also good: http://www.etsy.com/listing/67737539/sewing-patte...

I should not have looked for that, because I´m really keen on doing this by myself now..!
...without having time for this!

I've always just known the fabric as "toweling". They look so cute! And of course - the perfect color :=D

Thanks so much for all the links! I'll have to look into them to find the perfect one. Ballet flats seem not to work on my feet but perhaps I can make 'em a bit higher...
Will be continued! :)
