Make Baby Leg Warmers

Did you know making baby leg warmers from a pair of socks is actually a very easy and inexpensive undertaking?

BabyLegs brand leg warmers are one of the most popular baby items around right now. So if you are a DIYer baby leggings are a great homemade baby shower gift.

Here's what you'll need...

• A cute pair of adult socks
• Coordinating thread
• Sharp Scissors

Get Started...

Note: Footie socks are too short and those really tall above the knee ladies socks are a bit too tall. You want socks that would be about mid-calf height on and adult.

1. Cut your socks close to the toe and on either side of the heel. Discard heel and toe pieces.



2. Turn the piece that would have been the foot down into itself as if creating a cuff. Then run the other piece through the middle so all the raw edges line up.





3. Using a zig-zag stich and being sure to catch all three layers pull the sock taut as you zig-zag stitch all the way around. Give about a 1/4" seam allowance.



4. Trim the excess seam allowance if needed and flip the cuff down.



5. Repeat with the other sock.

Once you see just how easy it is to make baby leggings you will probably want to make two or three pair to give as a homemade baby shower gift.
