Baby Leg Warmers

Remember when I posted this picture of my Baby at 6 months?

Well, here is how to make the knit leg warmers! I've seen tons of simple tutorials on how to make leg warmers out of socks, but of course as it's now spring, I couldn't find any cute knee highs in the women's section, so I took matters into my own hands to make lightweight leg warmers :)

First off, measure those adorable chunky legs at the thigh and at the ankle and grab how long you want them to be.

Draw a straight line for the length. At the top draw a line that is HALF the thigh measurement. At the bottom draw a line that is HALF the ankle measurement. Connect the lines and this is your pattern. (make sure to cut the right way so that the leg warmers stretch!)

Cut two of the pattern

Right sides together, match up the long edges and sew.

Fold up a quarter inch on the top and bottom and hem. I pulled the fabric tight as I went so the thread would stretch with it.
Quick and easy!

Rockin Sweatshirt

We fancied up a great clearance find :)  I used my embroidery machine for this. But it could easily be done without, using iron on adhesive and stitching around the edge.

Note that he is wearing his Easy Peasy Tie Shirt! He thinks they look best together and always seems to wear this combination!

Bowtie

Aren't bowties adorable?

They turn your little boy into such a little man!

I used the bow tie tutorial from papernstitch. So cute and so easy!

I used scraps of fabric, so I did not have the requested 3" x 20" for the bow, so instead I used 4 pieces of fabric that were 3" x 5" and it worked perfectly that the seams were in the middle and unseen!

And one last shot showing what my Buddy thought of the bowtie :) Sort of that "my mom is MAKING me wear this!"

** KoJo Designs has another bowtie tutorial that also looks simple and adorable!

6 months

My beautiful baby is 6 months

She is the best baby, lays patiently while I sew or blog! Rarely crys and is full of smiles. Love this little one! She is so lucky to have a loving big brother and sister who entertain her on the rare occasion she does get "bored"!
