Stitch a pair of padded slippers and an embroidered sleep mask for a cosy sleepover or girlie evening in. Ideal for stash busting, all you need is a few fat quarters, plus some wadding and heavyweight interfacing to make this pretty set.

Cut one 30cm square from white cotton and wadding, two inner soles from pelmet weight and ultra-heavy interfacing, two outer soles from calico, four slipper uppers from green patterned fabric and two from plain white fabric and wadding. Also cut four 2.5cm x 35cm bias strips from pink patterned fabric for the binding.
Starting 4cm in from and parallel with one edge, use a sharp pencil to draw five parallel lines 1.5cm apart on the right side of the white patterned fabric square.

Stitch along the drawn lines to quilt.
Draw around the outer sole template twice on the quilted f
