For PattieWack – n – Crafts
On Six In The Morning

Supplies:
2 Washcloths
1/4 inch Elastic
Matching Thread
Sewing Machine
Pattiewack™ PomPom Tool
Needle
Yarn
Large Safety Pin

Pattie’s Pointer:
Nothing is more comfy than terry cloth. Be sure and make these for everyone, and a pair for yourself!

Steps:
1. Fold the two sides of the washcloth 3 inches toward the center. 
2. Sew a straight stitch with the sewing machine, 1 inch from the fold lines.
3. Fold the houseshoe in half, with the fold lines together. To form the heel, hand stitch one end of the houseshoe, pulling the point up to the ruffle. 
4. To form the toe of the houseshoe, sew a running stitch along the opposite end of the washcloth. Pull the threads to gather, and whipstitch into place at the top of the ruffle. 
5. Hook the end of the elastic with a safety pin. Thread it through the top of the ruffle, starting at the toe and ending at the toe. Slip the houseshoe onto your foot, and pull the elastic to a comfortable fit. Tie the elastic at the toe opening, and cut off at the knot.
6. Make a pompom by winding yarn around the PattieWack PomPom Tool for a 4-inch pompom. Wind yarn onto the cardboard until it is really full, and thick enough to form a nice sized pompom. Tie the center of the pompom as tightly as possible. Cut the loops on each side to release the pompom from the tool. Fluff and trim the pompom with scissors.
7. Tie the pompom onto the elastic at the toe of the houseshoe.
8. Repeat all of the steps for the other shoe.
