Baby Legs

Baby legs are sort of like leg warmers for babies. They keep their legs warm but still allow easy diaper access, the only problem is the cost, they can be pricey. We have had a pair my mom bought that Katie wore about once a week. However at our last Mommy & Me class one baby was wearing a neat strip pair. The mother showed them off and explained she made them from a pair of knee high High School Musical socks. Of course, that's so simple!

So to start, some girls knee high socks found on clearance, $.25 a pair.

Cut them before the heel.

Then again after the heel.

Next cut off the toe.

Now you can get rid of the heel and toe, fold the foot piece in half, right side out, it will become the bottom cuff.

Turn the leg piece inside out and sew the cuff to the raw edge with a zigzag stitch.

Its a little hard to see on the black socks but it works! Here is Katie modeling them:

She seems to like them, she can wiggle her toes and see them! My Mom sewed these black and white ones, she also found several spring pairs of socks that will make some awsome baby legs.
