That's a LOT of ground bunny!

It is! Although it's cut with one part pork belly to four parts rabbit. Rabbit has almost NO fat in it so you have to add some.

Ever made fleece socks, MROO?

I got a pair when we lived in Canada. They were a revelation! They're soft and cozy and not at all tight so you can wear them to bed and be all toasty and not feel constricted at all.

I loved them so much I got a pattern and made them for everyone in the family. They're not hard to do BUT there is a step where you have to sew something you can't see. I did it by feel and only sewed through my finger once. She doesn't seem to do it but I left the seam allowance on the exterior for a smooth interior (where your tootsies have to feel everything) and then zigzagged the seam allowance down for a finished exterior. (That's when I sewed through my finger. But only once! )

Anyway, if you have extra fleece I highly recommend them. I still use mine here in SoCal.

OhMaGosh! I am SO trying that! I have TONS of fleece ... and a couple of people (myself included) who would LOVE them! I'll bet you could use some puff-paint to put a bit of a non-skid pattern om the bottom, too. Cool! ... or should I say ... warm?

Purple/fuchsia with a lavender floral tattoo. Go for it.

I draw the line at tattoos ... unless they're the kind I can wash off!

See my reply above?

Nice pale Irish skin and some freckles...goes with the wild curls and burns lobster red in the sun. Oh yeah..probably a perfect match for purple hair! Even better with Mallard teal!
...good thing hardly anyone would see it, right?

I know I always used puff paint on kiddo's socks when little. Worked like a charm!

Just one shoulder and arm - floral pastels - very feminine/

I'm sooo gonna try making them too! Did you use 1/4, 3/8, or a 1/2 inch seam?
Might be able to make them with a serger too. I dunno...I'm not very experienced with the serger.

Yes! they reminded me of sleeper feet!

That's exactly what I thought too!

I'll bet minky or cuddle fleece would be an excellent material for slipper socks! Or even high loft fleece. I lurve soft fuzzy socks or slippers.

@IamRainey
Girl, you sent me down a rabbit hole. I know it was aimed at @MROO , but you hooked me too!
Looky looky...Fuzzy slipper boots using materials most of us already have around the house!
Sooo gonna do this. Might use old jeans as the bottoms too.
