I took a “mental health day” on Friday and it was fantastic. I saw Jose and Emma off and then went for a nice 3 mile run. After that I put the finishing touches on a sewing project (that I will blog about soon) and went out for a pedicure. Ahh. I got back home and still had an hour or so to spare, so I tackled another sewing project — this time, something quick-and-easy that I just hadn’t gotten around to…
DIY baby legs! You can buy these online from tons of sources (I got Emma two pairs of Babylegs recently when they were on sale on Zulily) or you can make your own from a pair of cheap knee socks!
I used this tutorial by Bowdenisms (via My Sister’s Suitcase), and a pair of black and white striped socks that I found at Target for about $3. The leg portion of the sock becomes the leg of the legging (obviously). The foot part gets narrowed and folded in half to make an ankle cuff. The heel and toe get tossed.
Cute baby legs! (And cute baby teeth!!)
I picked up two more pairs of socks at Target today. $1.75 each on clearance! I might be obsessed with baby leggings…
