For those of you looking for a little bit of Etsy in Germany, take a closer look at DaWanda.com .They have so many catagories to choose from, are resonably priced, the site is in English or in German, and they are based in Berlin!
You can even create your own collections- sell, trade, or buy!
Remember - Valentines day is tomorrow the 14th February!!
ReadyMade is named after the term that Marcel Duchamp coined in 1915 for a series of sculptures that playfully rethought the relationship between people and mass-produced objects, everyday items and art. ReadyMade is about people who make things and the culture of making. It’s a magazine for the innovator inside each one of us.

Hi Stitchers,

This pattern is available for free.
In addition: This is what LORI WROTE:
I used 3 balls (50 g/50m) of the Lana Grossa Feltro purchased at Strickeria. This made a slipper for a size 35/36. You can use any bulky weight wool, but it must be 100% wool to felt. Manmade or plant fibers, i.e. acrylic and cotton yarns, will not felt.
Other materials needed: Size U.S. #11 needles (8mm) Yarn needle for sewing the slipper together
I traced my foot on a piece of paper and measured to get the length. You will need to know how long your foot is to make the slipper the correct size.
