Easy Peasy Baby Legs

Ever found cute socks that you wish your little one could wear? Here is the solution, make your own baby legs (leg warmers)!!! It is very inexpensive, you can get a 3 pack of socks for $7 and get 3 pairs of legs. You are going to want to get some knee high, or thigh high for older/longer kids, socks that have some stretch.

Then, like the above picture shows. you will cut out the heel and the toe of the sock. We will only be using the leg part and foot part, shown below.

Then you will take the foot part of the sock that you cut out and fold it in half, so that the raw edges meet.

Then you will slid the long leg part into the folded in half foot section, with all raw edges meeting.

I took a piece of red fleece to use as my cuff, to make it more festive for Christmas. I did the same as the regular foot section and folded it in the leg section to sew together.

Then with all layers sewn together, it looks like above. then just fold the shorter section back over, and voila, super cute, custom baby legs.

I like the cuffs at the bottom, but your child could wear them either way.
