Baby Leg Warmers!

I have been thinking that these baby leg warmers were super cute and convenient for diaper changes, but they cost $12 each.  Yikes!  I looked online and realized I could probably make them myself from adult socks.  Today at Target, I came across a wall of colorful clearance women's knee-highs for $0.75, so I loaded up.  In one episode of Money Saving Meals, I sewed up five pairs of cute baby leg warmers.  Yay!


Here are three pairs that I made for Elliott...



My sweet-in-need-of-a-nap baby model would not be still for a photo, so here is a video for you.  Pardon the fact that he does not match.  I promise I won't actually pair this onesie with these leg warmers for real!


Happy Tuesday!

    1. Thanks! My sewing machine its a necessity for me, though I certainly don't get to it as much anymore:-/. my mom has taught adult sewing classes at highlands in the past, I could find out if she plans on it this year.

  3. Baby Leg warmers help to keep your child socks on yet feet free to allow them to crawl and walk. Baby leg warmers protect knees of your crawling babies from rug burn, rashes and cuts from falling.
