I wash my sons fleece slippers with suede bottoms and they wash just fine. In dryer on low, though. If you don't want the suede, go with material with fabric paint--like little kids' no-slip socks. Sharon C.

Greetings, I'm not able for much sewing these days but I'm attempting adult-sized footie-pajamas. The problem I haven't solved yet is, what to make the bottom of the feet out of. My original thought was suede but I've never sewn with leather or suede so I have no idea how it washes (I have a sneaking suspicion not well...)... So can anyone suggest something that has some traction, is nicely flexible, washable, and can be sewn onto a couple of layers of cotton flannel? I need something warm & cuddly, since our post-war house was built with curious ideas about insulation (i.e. not much) which isn't great in Minnesota winters. ;-) So, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
