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

How cute! I have a couple great grandchildren about that size, so I'll have to make some of these.
ReplyDeleteCUTE! I would have never thought of making baby stockings out of socks.
ReplyDeleteYou 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!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for linking up! Whoop Whoop!!
So cute! I made some of these for Piper when she was teensy but her legs were so chubby they just rolled down... I love the craft blog - keep it up!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'll definitely keep this in mind for the future : )
ReplyDeleteI am about ready to have a baby girl in a week and was looking into making these for her! Thanks for the tutorial! Such a great and easy project!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'm going to have to watch for cute socks and try it for my grandbabies. My girls love those Baby Legs.
