Recenty, when we were up at the Lake, I stopped in the local quilt shop.  I hadn’t been there since last year so I figured that I would stop in for a look.  One of the first things that I saw was a display of the most adorable flip flop sandals.  They had a fabric sole and a fabric bow on top.  I just had to buy that pattern.

The pattern is the Bow n Go Flip-Flops by Aunties Two Patterns and can be purchased here.  It is pattern number AT214.  Apparently there is a companion pattern, the Bow n Go Bag, but I did not see that one there.  It was very simple to make the flip flops and I’m really happy with how they turned out.  There were a few mistakes but with the black fabric you really can’t see them.  In hindsight, I should have just used some scrap fabric to practice sewing on the bias tape as that was the hardest part for me.

While I was at the quilt shop I found this great black fabric with yellow flowers on it so I ended up just purchasing all of my supplies that I needed while I was there.  I had to wait for a couple of days until we were back home so that I could start on my flip flops.  Once I started on them I just sailed right through the project.  All you basically do is to follow the pattern to make a fabric flip flop, cut the top plastic foot piece off of a pair of rubber-type flip flops and glue the fabric flip flop to the rubber sole.  I paid $1.97 for my flip flops.  It was that simple!

I now want to make more of these to match some of my other outfits.  I feel very happy wearing these flip flops.  I am proud of something that I made, they are totally adorable and they really dress up my outfit.
