How To: Baby Leg Warmers

Everybody and their dogs babies are sporting the new fall fashion must have: baby leg warmers. I love them but I'm not going to pay $8-$15 for them. I found this on the internet.

The solution to my cheap thrifty ways!

I had an unused pair of fun tube socks lying around so I dusted off the old sewing machine and went to town.

Here is the finished product. Now I just need bugsy to wake up so she can try them on. If this works, mommy is headed to Target for $1 socks!

------UPDATE------

Well, Chloe bug woke up and tried on her warmers. Not too shabby for our first attempt that took less than 5 minutes. I'll have more to show off later.

  2. Great minds think alike! I actually bought some for $12, then had the same idea! I even looked at the same site you linked to! They turned out great, can't wait to see Ms. Chloe in them!
