Yes..more leg warmers!

I loved making the leg warmers so much... that I had to find more knee high socks. Target has them for $2.50 and I also found them at the Dollar Tree for.....wait for it... a whopping $1. I loved the Target pairs because the designs were more bright and colorful. Both stores' prices beat the fancy baby leg warmer prices ($12-18) found online . I also found these Santa socks (Dollar Tree) with red and white stripes and had to turn them into leg warmers. Enjoy!


You can use scissors to cut the heel and foot part off. I used my rotary cutter because I love using it! These can also be sewn by hand if you don't have a sewing machine. These took me about 10 minutes to make and cost a total of $2.00 if you include the thread.

 So what do you think?

Leg Warmers

This evening I made baby leg warmers. This really took me 10 minutes to make. E-A-S-Y
You will learn that I love to jump into a new project. The good thing is...I will try to give you a heads up on what worked and didn't. So here goes...

Here are some things that I would do differently next time:
1. Change the bobbin color. This is a simple tip that gets me in trouble over and over again. Don't be like me... change it!
2. Get funky with it!! The solid colors are cool, but the patterns are FUN!
3. Do try to find old socks, if you can't...I got 3 pair of Ladies' Knee High Sock at Wally World for $6.00. That's 2 bucks for a pair of baby leg warmers...Oh yeah!!

(Addition: I read a blog today that recommended using toe socks. Why didn't I think of that??)

Up Next: Christmas Tree Shirt
On Deck: Christmas Tree Footprints
Wish List: Tissue Paper Covered Ornaments.... I need to find some fun tissue paper! Any suggestions?
