Where can I find the pattern please and do you have a toddler pattern?

Hi Ann - if you follow the link here there is a download - the tutorial gives you a template, once you have the principle you should be able to scale down for a child size which would be very cute - good luck and happy leathercrafting! identityleathercraft.com/pages/project-sheepskin-slippers

Thank you for the video tutorial. I loved wearing these when I was a kid and missed them so much :) one question (although I'm late to the party). I decided to add about 2mm veg tan to the sole. Do I glue bottom part to sole and then stich to the boot or should I stich up bottom and then glue the sole to cover it?

Hi - good question! You can do it both ways, reaching in through the slipper and finding the holes through the fleece may be tricky though. - either way make sure your holes are pre done in the veg tan sole and are a good open size so that sewing is made easier. Happy leathercrafting :)

@@IdentityLeathercraft I wanted to give some update regarding progress. I decided to glue bottom to the sole and then punch through everything at once. I also added grove for a thread at the bottom. Unfortunatelly on the website you still have your test pattern on so back doesnt match to sides... Also sides are longer than they should be if intented for 3 part- there was enough lenght of sheepskin on each side to completely ignore back piece and just glue and stiched 2 side pieces together. Regardless- thank you very much for sharing this pattern. I love my new slippers :)
