Instead of embroidering the center front of these slippers, I decided to stitch the  monogram (and a little Valentine heart) on the outer sides. 
Here is a close-up of the embroidery. Using a wash-away stabilizer on the top of the fleece really keeps the stitches from sinking into the nap.
If you were wondering about how big you can make these slippers, I wear a mens size 9.5 (running shoe)...look how much more room there is. (Im guessing they will fit feet up to size 11 without any adjustments.)

Pin the front and back pieces together.

Sew front piece to back piece on each side
Pin the front and back.

Sew the front to the back on both sides—the seam allowances will face the right side.

Here is how it looks pinned together
On both sides, sew the front and back together.

Matching all of the notches, pin the slipper to the sole. Sew all the way around the edge, trim the seam allowance to 1/8 inch, and turn your slipper right side out.

The right sides of the slippers will face the nonslip side of the sole.

After you pin the slipper to the sole, peek inside to make sure you can see the nonslip material—if you see the foot bed, you have them pinned on wrong!

We'll see how it goes.

NannieT writes: This tutorial is a year old and the original site (Candle on the hill)no longer has this pattern and the newleafpatterns appears to only be a wholesale distributor. Does anyone know of another source for this pattern or for one that is very close to this style? Retail is good, free would be better. Any help/info greatly appreciated.
