~tutorial-leg warmers~

I love leg warmers on babies. 
When will there be any other time in a persons 
life that chubby leg rolls sticking out the
top of leg warmers is considered cute?
Uhhhh-NEVER!
When I found out I was having a baby girl
one of the first things I said, 
"Oh yay! I get to make leg warmers for her."
And I have.
Several.
For every holiday.

I'm going to show you how to do it.
It's probably the easiest project I do.
You can make a pair in 10 minutes flat.

First off, get some socks you want to use for the leg warmers.
I use small socks for babies and knee high socks for little girls.
My secret go-to place for knee high socks?
The dollar store.
 There are only a few simple steps to follow while making these.
Here goes:






 I've got too many "the's" in there don't I? oops.
I also used "to" instead of "too"....this is buggin me
but I'm not about to go back and fix it.



I made all three pairs in 30 minutes.
This is one of my go-to gifts for little girls.
Quick. Easy. Inexpensive.
And most importantly.....super cute.  

My favorite leg warmers I've made my little lady
are out of some old vintage socks I got from my
very own sock stash. Go thru your own sock
drawer before you hit the store....you might be
amazed at what you find.

Hi Paula, these are adorable. What a fabulous job you did and so easy, for you anyway. I don't have a sewing machine so it wouldn't be that easy doing it by hand. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
