Happy New Year! Too busy for posts the past few weeks, but I'm ready to get back to creating....especially since my hubby got me a child size dress form for Christmas! How lucky am I?! Too many ideas have been circulating in my head for sewing my children's spring & summer clothing. It'll be like my own mini Project Runway without the crazy hours or competition. So exciting! But one step at a time.
The current project of the day is in honour of the -17C weather that blew in last night. I think leg warmers are going to be as staple as socks for the next few months, so I need more of them to keep my little ones cozy. When I was pregnant with Tobias, I saw baby leg warmers in a baby boutique and thought they were a great idea...and paid $15 each for two pairs. I still think they are a great idea, but I think it's an even better idea to make them from $2 socks!
This project literally took me 5 minutes to make, and it's great for girls & boys (Tobias wears his under his pants).
Buy some adult or youth socks.
Cut like this:
Get rid of the heel and the toe. Fold the foot part in half, right sides together.
Place over the unfinished end of the sock, right sides together.
Sew.
