Easy baby leg warmers

We went to Target the other day to grab some quick stocking stuffers. It was a huge mistake going shopping on the Saturday before Christmas Eve. Never again!

The good news is, I picked up two pairs of cute patterned tube socks. I have been wanting to sew her some knock off Baby Legs for a while now (since the $12 a pop for real ones just seems cray cray to me).

I know there's a million tutorials around for these online...But, I thought I'd share mine, just because I'm still kind of amazed that I knew how to even thread my sewing machine!



So basically, it went like this.

                                  
                           
1. Gather socks. Preferably cute ones.
2. Measure your baby's legs and cut your sock at that length (leaving the top part in tact)
3. So, basically you have a pair of crew cut socks, and then the long tops separate.
4. Cut about two more inches off of the top of the "crew cut" socks.
5. Take that two inch piece, and fold it in half (with right sides facing out)
6. Slip the two inch piece over the long piece from step 2 (make sure all raw edges line up. You can pin if you need to!)
7. Sew them together at the raw edge and flip them open to see your brand new (knock-off) Baby Legs.

              

After all of that, you should probably find a cute baby (easiest step for me!) and have them model their brand new legs.



Be sure to stop and admire the chub.



She is loving them so far. I even got a smile. See?
                           
                       

I'm loving them, too! They have made diaper changes a breeze so far!

So...What about you? Have you made anything cute lately? I want to see!
