I've made about a zillion pairs of these fantastic little guys. I firmly believe that they are one of the most important and functional pieces of clothing a baby or toddler can have. But why pay $12 for Babylegs? I have NO idea. Instead, you should make them in just a few minutes for a dollar or two (completely depending on how much you paid for the socks). There is a great tutorial at Sew Much Ado if you want to learn how to DIY your baby leg warmers. These are one of my go-to baby shower gifts... simple, inexpensive, and awesomely useful. Note: always use knee high socks, calf length are way too short. Happy sewing!
Why pay $12 when you know Lauren Kelley ;) jk. When I find the time to sew I'll be consulting you a lot.
ReplyDeleteHaha, exactly... it's not what you know, it's who you know. :)
ReplyDeleteWere you ever able to acquire a serger? I'm considering it. Anyway, I want some boy leg warmers. How much you charge?
ReplyDeleteI've almost got enough money in my serger fund now. :) So exciting! Soon! Either way, I think that using a serger on the excess of the leg warmers would be too stiff and bulky. I've never had any problems leaving them raw. I'd make you some for the man for $4 a pair. Let me know if you'd like some.
