Make Your Own Baby Legs

So, she first caught my attention when she said that she made her boy some baby legs (two pairs) in less than 15 minutes! I learned that she got the tutorial from here and realized it really was that easy!!! So tonight I made a pair for Lola and I have to say, I LOVE them and so does she!


Here is what I started with:

First, you have to cut apart some of the sock that you won't need anymore.

Then I pinned.


Up next, sewing the two parts together!

Taaaaa-Daaaaaa!
I had to try them on Lola right away, they were perfect (actually, far from it, but they are so cute). The part that I sewed is meant for the top (as it is bigger typically than the ankle), but because of the skull's placement, this pair will be worn the opposite way (which actually turned out better). Can't wait to have her put them on for dance class tomorrow!

I took this picture right before dance class! LOVE them still!

I so love these on little kids. I have a friend here who makes them and sells them at boutiques. Cool that you made some on your own. :)

Great idea! Leila always wants to wear the same pair of leg warmers for dance - thinks she needs some like this, now!

Those are so fun! I bought my youngest a pair of baby legs when he was little, but he didn't get to wear them long because his legs were so chunky:)
