Have a question? Here are answers to some of the questions I receive most often. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please feel free to contact me.
What sizes do you offer?
I offer slippers in sizes for babies, kids, women, and men. Specific size options may vary by design. Current available sizes can be found on each Etsy listing.
How do I choose the right size?
Slipper sizes are based on standard U.S. shoe sizes. For a snugger fit, I recommend ordering a half size smaller than your usual shoe size.
What type of yarn do you use?
I use 100% acrylic yarn for all of my slippers. I choose acrylic because it is soft, durable, easy to care for, and available in a wide variety of beautiful colors. It creates slippers that are comfortable to wear while holding up well in everyday use.
Can I choose different sole options for my slippers?
Yes! Most slipper styles are available with one of three sole options:
Standard (Yarn) Sole: Soft and comfortable, made from the same yarn as the rest of the slipper.
Non-Skid Sole: Features a polyester sole fabric with a PVC-based non-slip surface for additional grip on hardwood, tile, and other smooth flooring.
Leather Sole: A durable genuine leather sole that provides extra protection and extended wear.
How should slippers be washed?
Washing instructions are based on the sole type selected.
Standard (yarn) Sole Slippers: Machine wash in cold water, tumble dry on low heat.
Non-Skid Sole Slippers: Machine wash in cold water, lay flat to dry
Leather Sole Slippers: Spot clean with damp cloth, lay flat to dry.
Proper care will help your handmade slippers maintain their shape, comfort, and appearance for years to come.
Do you accept custom orders?
Yes! Some of my favorite designs began as customer requests. While not every request is possible, I’m always happy to discuss ideas for colors, themes, and special designs.
Visit my Custom Design Ideas page to learn more and submit your idea.
Do you create trademarked or licensed character designs?
While I love creating new designs and exploring customer ideas, I do not currently create or sell slippers featuring trademarked or licensed characters, brands, logos, or other protected designs. I only accept custom requests that can be created and sold without a licensing agreement.
Can I request a specific color?
Color availability depends on the yarns currently available from suppliers. Contact me with your request and I’ll be happy to discuss available options.
How long does it take to make an order?
Since each pair is handmade, processing times may vary. Current estimated production times are listed in my Etsy shop. During the holiday season, when many customers are shopping for gifts, processing times may be longer than usual. I recommend ordering early whenever possible to ensure your slippers arrive in time for gift giving.
Do you make matching family slippers?
Yes! Many designs are available in sizes for babies, kids, women, and men. Since each size category has its own Etsy listing, matching family slippers may be found across multiple listings. If you’re looking for a specific matching set, feel free to contact me and I’ll be happy to help.
Do you offer gift wrap?
Yes! Gift wrapping is available for an additional charge. If you’re sending slippers as a gift, simply select the gift wrap option when ordering through Etsy.
Where can I purchase Patti’s Projects slippers?
All current styles and available designs can be purchased through my Etsy shop.
