Currently my sons second favorite movie, after the LEGO movie of course, is Monsters University. He loves it, and he loves Mike Wazowski. So I understand where the Mike Wazowski part of this project came from, but I don’t understand where he came up with the slipper part of this project. One day he just started asking me to make him Mike Wazowski slippers. I thought it was an interesting request and didn’t take it too seriously at first. Especially since my son refuses to wear any article of clothing that I ever make him. But after multiple mornings of me asking my son, “What would you like to do today?” and my son responding “I wan’t you to make me Mike Wazowski slippers.” I knew he was pretty serious about this project, and that it might be something I make that he would actually want to use. And I was right! He is in love with his slippers. And his sister was so in love with them as well that I had to make her, her own coordinating pair just to stop them from fighting over the slippers. These have been a big hit at our house! If you have any Monsters Inc. fans at your house I suggest making a pair or two of these.
First, Trace your child’s shoe.
You also want to cut out two triangle per slipper for the ears. You want to place them down in the middle of your fleece and minky fabric. You will sew a line across the top. Then you flip flip it inside out to get your finished top of your slipper.

Those are adorable! I showed them to my 2 year old and he started dragging me all over the house asking for Sully slippers – apparently he thought I had them just hidden away somewhere! Quick question – if I wanted to make the Sully version, do I need 1/4 yd minky and 1/4 yd fur? The instructions say minky or fur, but then later it says you used the fleece on the outside, so I’m assuming that for the blue slippers you would use fur in place of the fleece? I can’t wait to make these, I hope they turn out half as cute as yours!

I LOVE IT!!! Sorry for the confusion. For Sully, I used fur on the outside and fleece on the inside. For Mike, I used fleece on the outside and minky on the inside. I updated the supply list on the post.

I was so excited to find this web site, and even happier when I found these slippers. Only problem is-I am the Grandma, not the mom, so I don’t have a pair of his shoes around! Really wish they didn’t require us to have shoes to do the slippers.

Making these for my great-grandson. Have them all cut out, but don’t see a seam allowance listed. Looking at the machine, it may be 1/4″? Also it looks as if you used a regular sewing machine all through. Anyone make them on a serger?

I’m so sorry, but I can’t seem to get an answer from the contributor who created this tutorial years ago. I hope you figured it out! Sarah
