This week's finish is BABY LEGGINGS! Yay! I have seen these all over and I have been wanting to make a few pairs for Avery. Yesterday I pulled out a pair of socks that was just sitting in a box waiting to be played with and made a test pair. I'm glad I did too, considering I didn't really use a tutorial.

{My little baby fell right to sleep in this pair. Love. it.}

{So basically, you need socks, scissors, and thread.}
{I put the socks on Aves and measured how long to make them.}

{then I sewed around the bottom edge to give it a finished look}
{tip: use a zigzag stitch to keep the sock from rolling}

{the ends will be a little skiwompus at that point}
{try them on your tot and pin them where you need to sew}
{NOTE: do not stick your child with the pins!}

{sew down from the knee}

{I only measured one side and then used the cut piece for the other}

{flip them inside out}

{and there you go!}

{baby leggings!}

{and nap time!}

Super easy. Super cute. Just super. I needed a quick project this week so I can keep working on my quilts!

  3. You know, I always wondered if you could use knee socks to make these! My granddaughter is probably a little too old for them now, but when they first came out they were so cute on her - but so ridiculously expensive for what they are! So - thanks for showing off your tutorial!!

    And thanks for linking up! Whoop Whoop!!
