With six people in the family, I've got plenty of t-shirts. I just lack the patience to cut them up and yarnize them. It’s not about the money.

The T-shirt gives it the slipper a decent amount of "umph" and structure. Stretchy is what I would recommend because I have not experimented with plain woven cotton. I don't know if you have a thrift store by you where you can sometimes find shirts for under $1. Usually these stores are part of a non-profit so you're getting your crafting supplies while donating to a good cause. Something to consider!

Does it need to be stretchy or will plain woven cotton work? Not sure what I'd use.

What you're missing is what skills are necessary -- does it use straight needles, circulars or dpn? Can you make them higher up on the ankle like winter weight slippers or are they fitting more like peds? Oh, how lovely!
